It features 29 innovative case studies of alternative assessments, serving as both inspiration and practical guide for educators planning to design and implement alternative assessments in their own classes. Each chapter showcases viable examples of authentic, holistic, meaningful and effective assessments as practiced by educators in major universities throughout Malaysia. This book also provides readers a greater appreciation of the varied forms of alternative assessments that are possible, limited only by the individual’s innovation and motivation.
