Assessment - Case Studies, Experience and Practice (Paperback)

The fourth volume in this practical series deals with one of the ubiquitous HE & FE subjects. With a straightforward, authoritative and practice-based approach to this vast subject, this book will be important reading for educators seeking to develop their assessment practice. As with the other books in the series, the book will appeal to a wide range of HE professionals. It avoids being overly academic, instead using a fascinating case study format to detail a wide range of approaches to assessment. In addition to this unique approach, the book covers new assessment techniques, such as assessment by portfolio, peer assessment and computer-assisted assessment, all of which are high on the academic agenda. The case studies are international, focusing on the UK, Australia/New Zealand, and the United States.
