Assessment in GNVQs: Learning the Hard Way.
Garland, Paul
Research in Post-Secondary Education, v3 n3 p329-44 1998

Analysis leads to the establishment of assessment principles: (1) continuous assessment should allow for learner development; (2) better ways of assessing "soft" skills are needed; and (3) overspecification should be avoided.
