Five Myths of Assessment

چکیده
This paper describes some issues concerning assessment and the corresponding motivation for students to work in a desired manner. The issues came from studying assessment in the Runestone project, but are, as we see them, of general interest.

It is our intention to promote Computer Science Education research as an essential area for improving our education, in this case by exposing myths about assessment as myths.
