Abstract
In recent years, student assessment in higher education settings has changed. There has been a shift from the traditional testing culture to an assessment culture (Birenbaum, 1996) which favours the integration of assessment, teaching and learning, through active student involvement and authentic assessment tasks (Sambell et al., 1997).
