However, as Ramsden (1992) says, it will be rare to find one assessment method which will satisfy the assessment of all the intended learning outcomes for a course, so it will be necessary to consider a range of assessment methods for our students. It may be that specialist resources and equipment have to be put in place before the assessment takes place, and should the assessment be taking place in a workplace environment then the supervisors and the business involved would have to be informed beforehand.
Following an assessment the results are obtained and some kind of judgement will have to be made, and whatever decision the assessor comes to you will have to make sure the standards have been achieved, what was good, what needed to be redeveloped, this will all show up in the grades or pass marks obtained.

Whatever their backgrounds and needs, age, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability (mental or physical), or sexual orientation they must given equal opportunities to be assessed.
