Assessment should not be seen separable from instruction, but also as a powerful tool for promoting deep learning activities. Assessment culture refers to educational evaluation practices that are compatible with current ideologies, social expectations, attitudes and values so the emergence of assessment cultures needs to be discussed with reference to current views on learning and education. The target of this paper is to understand whether same methods in architectural pedagogy can satisfy different learning styles, different backgrounds and cultures or not
