Assessment and feedback
- Assessment and feedback from staff can affect students in many powerful ways.
- Assessment requirements have a strong motivating effect on how and what students learn.
- Assessment is a process of gathering information which tells staff not only about student problems and difficulties but also about their competencies, how they have gone about their learning and what they have achieved.
- Assessment can be used to improve learning and teaching when treated as an integral component of the teaching and learning process and linked to the aims and objectives of course design.
