The researcher has realized that there is little or no literature on online assessment and research in Mathematics Education Nortvedt and Buchholtz (2018). The theoretical framework of the study was the theory of self-efficacy. The objective of the study was to explore the final-year Mathematics Education student teachers' experiences of online assessment at a university in Namibia. The study addresses the following research question: How do the final year students experience online assessment of Mathematics Education at the university in Namibia? The research paradigm of the study was interpretivist paradigm. The research was a case study of the final year Mathematics Education students at the university in Namibia. The study used Purposive sampling. The data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. The study found that the final year students have experienced some challenges with online assessment: network connectivity issues, access to Moodle, insufficient or lack of data bundles, layout of question paper, changes in the date or time and sometimes incorrect feedback. Although there were challenges, the study also found some benefits of online assessment: flexibility of online assessment, cost-effectiveness, and immediate feedback and increases computer skills.
