Thus the effectiveness of SET is the key to all the problems concerned. Many studies inside and outside focus on the factors which affect the validity and reliability of SET. The influencing factors mainly come from teachers, students and curriculum.

The survey sample consists of 370 students in Jianghan University. The questionnaire is used as the major instrument and the data obtained from the questionnaire are processed in SPSS. The author makes some suggestions of improving the effectiveness of SET. This thesis is divided into the following chapters. In Chapter I, it contents the background, purpose and meaning of the research. Chapter II is the theoretical background and literature review. In Chapter III, it mainly describes the methodology of the research. The reasons for the study, methods and process of the research were pointed out. Chapter four is the data-analyzing and results-finding of the research. It discusses different views on SET and analyses the influencing factors of SET. In Chapter five, the author draws a conclusion of improving the validity of SET and makes some suggestions for SET which involved bettering the reorganization of the students, forming scientific and effective evaluating criteria, decreasing the potential deviation, applying the results correctly and developing new ways of evaluation.
