Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine issues ranging from strategic aspects of assessment planning to the more fundamental aspects of assessment such as measuring student evaluation processes. Assessment activities in the capstone course of a college of business were used as the focus of a study on inter-rater reliability among instructors and as a foundation for a discussion on assessment processes. The details of establishing inter-rater reliability for one instrument are provided, and conclusions are drawn concerning the value and limitations of this type of performance assessment.
