Abstract

Courses in the undergraduate Information Technology CDIO-based training program are usually designed to  integrate at least one kind of soft skills. In fact, teamwork is one of the skills that has been most applied by  lecturers. However, lecturers often find it very difficult to assess learners fairly, objectively and comprehensively when applying this method while they are well aware of the fact that assessment is a particularly important stage and has a strong impact on both learners’ learning results and the quality of a training program. The paper presents the facts and recommends solutions to assessing learners through their teamwork skills in curriculum based on CDIO approach.
