Abstract

C-BAss is a structured framework designed for use by programme teams to facilitate the design and implementation of an effective and efficient competence-based undergraduate or postgraduate degree programme.Competence-based assessment fundamentally involves a change from assessing purely/primarily disciplinary-based knowledge, understanding and skills to assessing what a student is competent in. It places emphasis on what students can do, rather than what they know.
