The benefits of inclusive assessment

  • It encourages effective study with explicit learning goals.
  • It increases motivation and commitment to study as students can see a clear relationship between lectures, tutorials, practical classes and subject resources and what they are expected to demonstrate.
  • It increases students' sense of the value of assessment tasks which they perceive to be 'real'; that is, tasks which they think reflect the skills needed in the workplace and challenge their knowledge and skills.
  • It enhances learning as students are given some choice in the nature, weighting and timing of assessment tasks.
