Abstract

This study is to find the existence of discrepancy between the supervisor and assessor in project assessment. A systematic approach is suggested using statistical analysis. Project marks of the computer engineering program obtained from the past two years are recorded using Excel and analyzed using SPSS. Using one-way analysis of variance, it is found that the reason for the discrepancy is due to the excessively low marks given by the assessors. The outcome of this study helps to identify those projects that need to be reassessed. Standardization of the project assessment guarantees that the marking is fair and truly reflects the student performance.
