This baseline study was conducted under funding from the European Commission in the framework of the Erasmus+ Capacity Building project “Transforming Assessment Practices in Large Enrollment First Year Education/TAP Palestine” to enhance capacity building of Palestinian Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in order to improve assessment practices in first year education. Five Palestinian Higher Educational Institutions participated in the Assessment Methods Survey: namely An-Najah University, Birzeit University and Palestinian Polytechnic University located in the West Bank and Al-Aqsa and UCAS universities located in the Gaza Strip. The general coordination of the baseline study at Palestinian territories was under the responsibility of the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission (AQAC), a national body operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education.
