CLAA Assessment Policy

  1. The goal of assessment is to demonstrate one’s knowledge to a third person for the sake of verification.
  2. The school is, first of all, a source of academic verification.
  3. The threat to a school’s integrity is the granting of signs of academic verification to students who have cheated.
  4. The school is, therefore, responsible to develop means by which academic verification is not deceived.
  5. Online study is subject to cheating.
  6. All academic verification must be live, oral, face to face.
  7. All study must be designed to prepare the student for live examinations.
  8. Live examinations must be prepared for and qualified for.
  9. Online activities should be considered preparatory.
  10. Students who use online activities honestly, for the sake of preparation, should perform well on live examinations.
  11. Live examinations should be drawn from content of online activities so that students who prepare well are likely to succeed.
  12. Rubrics must be established for live examinations so that they are objective rather than subjective.
