Abstract :
This paper describes an experiment, which target is to develop a simple reliable Web-based student self-assessment system for our programming course. We compared a simple four step scale and a six-step scale modified from Bloom´s Taxonomy. Both scales were tested with about 90 students and the results were compared to the students´ exam grades. Both scales gave similar results but the six-step scale seemed to overestimate students´ skills.
