This paper takes the course of "Turf and Ground Cover" as an example to explore its teaching content, teaching methods, assessment and evaluation as well as process assessment materials of the course. The study shows that the reform of course assessment, by increasing practical and process-based evaluations, has effectively boosted students' learning interest and practical operation skills, and provided demonstrable experience for reform of other courses in the future.
