Assessment and Teaching
Assessment is central to teaching and learning, yet is considered one of the most difficult areas of professional practice. It is an area students report being least pleased with when completing the NSS. We will consider the most appropriate ways to assess outcomes, how to write constructively aligned learning outcomes and consider the benefits of Integrated Programme Assessment. You will be offered the opportunity to take part in an Action Learning Set.
