Summary:	Student assessment needs to be an integral part of online teaching and learning. With online education rapidly growing at the university level, faculty members need to have sound practices of assessment connected to the instructional process in order to produce optimal student learning. This paper looks at a specific assessment process and tool (Narrative/Analysis/Research Rubric) which are used in online courses in the educational administration department at a small Midwest university. The paper described the results of a survey of graduate students’ perceptions related to this N/A/R Rubric and the assessment process used in online assignments. The results are examined to determine the benefits and feedback of the N/A/R Rubric. Results showed that students perceived this rubric as beneficial and meaningful in their online learning.
