The capstone computing course at our university provides students with experience working on computing and information systems projects with real-world aspects, and the students have the opportunity to develop both the hard and soft skills that are sought after by industry. A unique peer evaluation system and various assessment tools have been developed recently to facilitate student assessment. This paper describes the student assessment techniques used in capstone courses at other universities and then describes the assessment techniques currently used in our capstone course in computing.
