Guide to Assessment Practices in Australian Higher Education
This guide provides a brief overview of the practices of assessment of learning in Australian universities. The information, suggestions and advice that follow will be especially useful if you are an international student who has little or no experience of the Australian university system. It will also be useful if you have had experience of assessment methods that are very different from Australian
university practices, either at high school or university in another country. It is written about Australian universities but much of it is applicable for Morling College.
