53 interesting ways to assess your students

Description

This book offers reflective practitioners in professional and higher education practical ways to develop broad, flexible assessment repertoires. The 53 suggestions are designed to support both assessment of learning and assessment for learning. Topics include written tasks, examinations, problem-based activities, live and authentic forms of assessment, assessment over different time scales, interpersonal aspects – such as group work, student involvement, and feedback – and quality assurance. This is the third edition. The original authors were Graham Gibbs, Sue Habeshaw, and Trevor Habeshaw. This new edition includes contributions by Victoria Burns, Gavin Brown, Robin Burrow, Kate Edwards, and Karl Nightingale. “I highly recommend that lecturers at any stage of their career take time to look at 53 interesting ways to assess your students. […] I particularly hope it will challenge experienced lecturers who have long relied on traditional staples such as unseen exams and set essays to see the rich possibilities of assessment.” – Dr John Canning, Senior Lecturer at the University of Brighton and Fellow of the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA).
