PETALING JAYA: Malaysian public and private universities are turning to alternative ways to grade their students due to the movement control order .

A survey conducted by The Star on 61 of the 110 public and private universities in the country found that 42.6% of the institutions polled have changed the way they conduct the mid-term and final exams for most of their courses. "UPM had already practised assessment-based learning prior to the MCO but during MCO, we organised a webinar series on online learning and circulated a guideline entitled 'UPM Virtual Classroom and E-Assessment Guidelines' for our lectures," she said.

"We have postponed the traditional style of sit-in exams and implemented a more open and innovative concept which allows both lecturers and students to use their creativity in expanding the dimension of their teaching and learning capabilities," he said. Meanwhile, 36.1% of the universities are still opting to conduct online tests or exams as a method to evaluate their students performance, especially those involving technical courses such as medicine, architecture and engineering as they need to meet the requirements of professional accreditation bodies.

"For now, we are implementing automatic recording of online exam sessions, where the data is submitted to the university for inspection from our side," she said.
