Abstract :
Presents the history behind organising and assessing group projects in software engineering at Teesside Polytechnic. The article describes why the initial plan in 1987-88 was seriously deficient in the objective assessment of many of the desirable attributes of a good software engineer. It reviews how the method of setting and monitoring goals was overhauled to create a cost-effective structured learning environment, and how the industrial audit and review procedure was modified to become a tool for individual assessment and performance/learning feedback. Details of the goals and their assessment are given
