摘要：AbstractThis study is to evaluate the efficiency and the effectiveness on the application of the subject's assessment such as quizzes, group exercises and short presentation, mid-test, assignment and students’ attendance which were correlated with the student's final examination results. The aim of this study is to encourage and to motivate student's active learning, thus enhancing their interest in the subject taught. It is thought that this method is traditionally used to help the students and to challenge them to work harder with more focus in the classroom. Furthermore, it helps the lecturer to observe on the progression of every student. The rationale of the subject's assessment is to embark on the student interest and to sustain their learning performance. Quantitatively, this study compared the subject's assessment marks with the final examination marks. Each mark on the subject's assessment is measured against the students’ engagement with the subject taught and its association on their performance in achieving higher marks in the final examination. The respondents were students who were enrolled for foundation programme at a private institution in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. The findings showed the fact that there were no consistencies to reflect that the students’ performances in their final examination results were actually related to the subject's assessment. Students were also required to give qualitative comments on the implementation of the subject's assessment. Notably, most of them were satisfied and have positive remarks on the application of the subject's assessment. It is recommended that future research should focus more on how the subject's assessment method can be modified. This is in order to help students to get better result in their subject's assessment and final examination.
