, for example, any four of the sub-tasks have been adequately presented, then a score of ‘4’ is recorded on the evaluation sheet forthe appropriate task. These twelve individual scores thus obtained (four per evaluator) aresubsequently averaged, and the grand average is determined for each laboratory group. Theoutcome is judged to have been achieved if 70% or more of laboratory groups have a grandaverage of 3.0 or higher6.An assessment was conducted in 2010 that provided the motivation for changing the content ofthe junior-level laboratory course (MAE 302L). The results of that assessment exercise indicatedlow performance in the ‘interpretation of data’ task (2.17/5.0). This result was consistent withresults from earlier assessment cycles using
