Exams and essays provide the backbone of student assessment across the School. But could a greater range of assessment methods allow students to develop their disciplinary knowledge, and prepare for further study and employment? This workshop will consider a range of innovative assessment approaches, their benefits and pitfalls, and allow attendees to share their current practice. It will also address how technology can enable assessment, and how assessments can be designed to deter academic misconduct. All academics are welcome, but the workshop is particularly useful for anyone considering changing their assessment methods in the coming academic year.
