| Summary |
Assessing Learning in Universities is written for teachers in all disciplines in post-secondary education. The way students are assessed and examined influences what and how they learn more than any other teaching practice. This book offers realistic and accessible advice on assessment, which is enlivened by many case studies. The chapters focus on abilities teachers want students to develop - thinking critically, solving problems, communicating - and how to assess them |
