Assessment is an area of intense growing interest in higher education and as a result of its centrality to student learning has become a central part of the curriculum. This book is a pioneering text, which contributes to the theory and practice of assessment through detailed discussion and analysis of award-winning approaches, inspiring higher-education practitioners to improve their own practice.
The book uses a model of learning-oriented assessment to analyse the practice of university teachers who have been awarded for excellence in teaching, and critically scrutinizes these practices in order to develop key insights into key aspects of highly effective teaching, learning and assessment processes.
