Abstract:
Assessment strategy is a very important component of education institutes. In this study we analyze the continuous and final marks by the students of the Computer faculty. To this end, 31 students were selected through random sampling from computer faculty at General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University, Sri Lanka. Herein, we analyze the continuous and final marks obtained by the students and compared by correlation matix. We have analyzed two subjects and observed positive correlation between continuous and final examination marks. Consequently, we conclude that continuous assessment gives practically the same pass/fail rates as the final exam, which indicates that there exists an influence of continuous assessment marks for the end semester marks of the students.
