Student outcomes are statements that describe the attributes; skills and abilities that students should have and be able to do by the time of graduation. For quality assurance evaluation, these outcomes must be assessed. In order to evaluate the level to which an outcome is met, it is necessary to select some courses where the outcome is covered. Course objectives must be linked to the student outcomes and define in terms of measurable performance indicators. Using just two outcomes as an example, this paper presents a systematic approach to assess directly and indirectly student learning outcomes in Mathematics through differential equation course, by define appropriate measurable performance indicators, build up assessment rubrics, collect and analyze data for possible recommendations and improvement.

Student learning outcomes articulate what a student should know or can do after completing a course or program. The assessment of student learning outcomes provides information that puts student learning at the forefront of academic planning processes. Student learning outcomes statements clearly state the expected knowledge, skills, attitudes, competencies, and habits of mind that students are expected to acquire at an institution. Assessment tasks are the activities learners will undertake to confirm whether or not ‘the outcome has in fact been achieved' during and at the end of the learning process. There are many different kinds of assessment activities you can use, the most commonly used including tests, quizzes, examinations, essays, paper, presentation, reflective journals, project, portfolio, etc. One most important determinant of the assessment tasks is the assessment has to be consistent with the learning outcomes.

Purpose Taught postgraduate (TPg) education is the resource for lifelong learning and continuing education in respond to the demands of a qualified workforce in the digital era. Good TPg governance is crucial for ensuring the quality of student learning outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the framework of the market-oriented governance model of TPg education in Hong Kong from the aspects of provision, finance and quality assurance. The framework is applied to analyse the pitfalls of TPg students’ learning in curriculum, assessment and management, of which data were collected from an empirical study. Design/methodology/approach Based on the grounded theory approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 TPg students from four universities in Hong Kong at individual or group level to understand their motivation towards further study. The interview protocols were analysed to develop a thematic framework, and a part of it is presented in this paper to discuss the programme factors that caused negative student learning outcomes in the light of the drawbacks of the TPg governance model in Hong Kong. Findings A balance between commercial purposes and educational orientations of TPg provision could be sought by adjust the power distribution of the central government and institutions in terms of quality assurance mechanism, and the setting and implementation of general and specific goals of TPg education. Originality/value TPg education is an under investigation area. It is an important education sector that provides opportunities for lifelong learning with the purpose of cultivating a skilful workforce. This paper contributes to the development of efficient TPg governance for ensuring the qualities of TPg programmes to benefit the advancement of society in the Hong Kong context.
