1. THE TOOL AsseSQL is an online, browser-based SQL query assessment tool, developed in-house. 2. GOAL To assess students' SQL query design and construction skills in a manner that more authentically mirrors how these skills are applied in professional practice. 3. APPLICATION With manual assessment, it's difficult for students to know if they have the query design correct, or if their query returns the correct results. One of the difficulties for a student is conceptualising and visualising the result of an executed SQL statement. Constructing queries online, executing them, visually verifying the result and, if necessary, modifying the query until it gives the correct result further internalises the query formulation skill. Immediate feedback is an important component in the learning and assessment loop. Copyright © 2014 ACM.
