When a lecturer enters a new class the first time, he/she needs to understand these factors quickly and rationally in order for him/her to be able to impart a reasonable level of teaching in coherence with the university’s quality criteria. Till now this kind of class assessment was being done through a lecturer’s observation. However, a lecturer is usually required to handle several classes of different levels and as such, it is not always possible to remember the quality and learning standards of these classes precisely. Hence, a lecturer who is just depending on observations to prepare the lectures and delivers them in a class which many a times seek to ignore the students with lower level of intelligence or knowledge. The aim of this study therefore, was to develop a model for assessing a class’s learning standards in overall terms using the grounded theory approach. ‘No student should be knowingly/unknowingly ignored’ was the starting point of this research. After analyzing several aspects of a class and a lecturer, this study came up with a model consisting of two parts: 1. Class Assessment Card (CAC) for assessing the intellect and receptiveness capabilities of a class which a lecturer can just fill in the first two classes itself through his observations; 2. CAC Evaluation Scheme which offers suggestions to the lecturers as to how to strategize for different types of classes consisting of varying levels of student’s learning capabilities.
