Abstract
Self learning is a representation of instruction that focuses the responsibility of learning on learners. This article focuses on 'Assessment of student Assignment (making review paper)' and its effectiveness in learning. This makes students to engage themselves in higher order thinking. Subject like Non-traditional machining (NTM) (Mechanical Engineering) is a technological stuff that exists because of newly developed metals and non-metals having some special properties like High Strength, High Hardness and High Toughness. A material possessing the above mentioned properties is difficult to be machined by the conventional machining methods. There are various methods in NTM like USM, AJM, EDM, and CHMetc. Students opted this subject will be given with an 'Assignment' with particular topic and informed undergo 'Literature Survey', identify some important developments of particular topic and produce it as a 'Review Paper' for communication in journals. The Graduate Attribute successfully measured is GA10 'Communication' The outcome of this activity was very interesting, where student's involvement in understanding technical issues was drastically improved. Thus this paper can assure that alternative and best practice will help in improving teaching learning process.
