Abstract
Niigata University has started to develop the Niigata University Bachelor Assessment System (NBAS). The objective is to have groups of teachers belonging to educational programmes discuss whether visualized learning outcomes are comprehensible. Discussions based on teachers’ subjective judgements showed in general that visualized learning outcomes express students’ natural abilities and, unlike simple grade point average (GPA) and grade data, are conducive to grasping the level of success in reaching attainment targets. In future, it will be necessary to examine amendments to weighting and lessons and assessments that correspond to weighting.
