Implement continuous quality improvement on process [10].Quality, with respect to higher education has several challenges such as endurance, conformanceto requirements, continuous improvement and value added [2]. The process variability not onlyexists within the students, but within professors as well. For example, grading by professors maybe different and the instructional methods may also have variations. In a study by Knight,professors graded unnamed assignments and then re-graded these assignments weeks later toobserve the
