The aim of the current study is to draw attention to the different assessment methods. The study investigates and evaluates assessment practices and perceptions of three participants in higher education. A qualitative case study is used to collect data in the form of classroom observations, interviews and field notes. The results emerged from this study illustrate the need to re-think and reform the traditional conceptions and practices of assessment. This will motivate a critical shift in the teaching and learning modes.
