Description
Summary:This article introduces a new assessment approach for lab course on Computer Architectures (CA) oof a Telecommunications Technology degree, which can be applicable to other types of lab-bases courses. Assessment by means of short exercises in each of the lab sessions is intended to complement classical summative assessment, which was carried out either by means of a final exam or by means of two mid-term exams. This type of assessment introduces an element of formative assessment that allows students to know the degree of understanding of the lab sessions and ultimately to achieve the learning objectives. The results of applying this new approach to the 2022/23 academic year are positive and motivated us to continue to develop it in successive years.
