A new model of course assessment based on the flipped classroom approach applied to “Modern logistics technology” course

As an innovative approach, flipped classroom changes the “studying in class + practicing after class” mode into “studying before class + explaining in class” by reversing the two stages that of knowledge transfer and knowledge internalization. The changing of teaching mode brings the changing of assessment methods, because the traditional assessment methods are no longer suitable to the requirements of a new teaching model. In this paper at first, the drawbacks of traditional assessment were described, and then the diversified course assessment index system in on-line and offline forms was established. The course assessment was evaluated using the combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE). This new assessment method changes the traditional result-oriented evaluation to the process-oriented one, the teacher evaluation to the students’ evaluation, realizing the combination of quantitative and qualitative evaluation mode and promoting the students' autonomous learning, processive learning and experiential learning, giving full play to the feedback, improvement and strengthening function of the assessment.
