The Assessment and Feedback Project (A&F) was created to improve assessment and feedback across the University and, in turn, raise student satisfaction.
To help support schools and departments in achieving the targets set by the A&F project, the Centre for Quality Support and Development (CQSD) offer a range of sessions, showcases and events to enable staff to share good practice and develop appropriate actions for their own programmes.
In early 2016, schools and departments reviewed their own practices, highlighted areas for concern, suggested improvements and developed individual action plans. In addition to these actions, key areas for development this year include:
Assessment literacy is the understanding of and competence in handling assessment, feedback and setting objectives. Assessment literacy is for both students and staff and is built through student engagement.
The benefits of increased student engagement and assessment literacy can help ease anxieties and outline exactly what is required of the individual, whether a student or member of staff. Effective feedback and the setting of objectives makes the next steps in learning clearer to the student.
For more information on Assessment and Feedback, please contact Dr Elizabeth McCrum, Teaching and Learning Dean.
