UTQ ASSESS

ASSESS focuses on assessment through exams, projects and assignments.  It can be a great tool for lecturers to guide student development in their fields when constructed and executed in a valid, reliable, transparent, effective and practical manner.

During this module, you will develop or improve an assessment for your course. You may work on an exam, a project or an assignment. 

The module consists of three parts:  

1. First, at course level, you will map out the constructive alignment of all the assessments in your course.  
2. Next, you will analyse your students’ results obtained during one of the course assessments. The data will enable you to identify points for improvement in the assessment, and in the course as a whole.  
3. Finally, you will develop, or improve one of your course assessments and grading guide, and reflect on your assessment practice.
