Meetings for business are essential to an organization's performance. Therefore, in order to improve students' abilities to conduct mock business meetings as a preparation for the real workplace, business schools that offer courses on business meetings must incorporate business meeting skills. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the characteristics of conventional and collaborative assessments and to offer suggestions for both types of evaluations. The methodology of this study is qualitative in nature by means of interview after a mock business meeting was carried out. Three assessors who were chosen through purposive sampling were the interview subjects, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. According to the results, collaborative assessment fosters accuracy and a more thorough evaluation procedure. Conversely, it was discovered that traditional evaluations had problems with fairness.
