Assessment perspectives

Assessment perspectives is a collection of brief articles outlining ideas, new thinking and differing views on assessment. As the collection builds up we will be trying to capture views both from established ‘names’ writing about assessment and practitioners with ideas to share. We hope to cover the key issues of assessment as well as suggestions about how to deal with them. Both theoretical and practice focused pieces are included.

• Gibbs, G. (2010) The assessment of group work: lessons from the literature
• Hurford.D, Read.A (2008) Feedforward: helping students interpret written feedback
• Price, M. (2007) Should we be giving less written feedback?
• Carroll, J, R. (2007) I’m fed up with people treating plagiarism and cheating as the same thing
• McDowell, L. (2007) Using assessment to drive the learning-but what about the learners?
