ASSESSMENT RESOURCES

At the end of 2011 the Academic Board approved a new Assessment Policy and Assessment Procedures, based on a set of Assessment Principles, and agreed that implementation would occur over the following two years. This site has been designed to assist in the implementation and interpretation of the new Policy and Procedures.

The key areas covered in the site are listed below and also shown in the left margin. None of these sections contains a comprehensive coverage (and may never do so) but the aim in establishing this ‘wiki’ site is that staff from across the university will contribute their exemplars to, and comments on, the existing sections, as well as contribute new sections or parts of new sections. For example, a contribution on assessing studio learning would be welcome, as would exemplars of samples of student work from a range of disciplines.

The University website on the First Year Experience has several sections on assessment, including links to resources that complement the content of this site.

If you have resources to add, or suggestions for changes to this site, please send them to:

Project timeline: June 2010 - November 2013
