Designed for
Postgraduate students of all disciplines who would like to learn more about assessing student performance and marking student work. This module is designed for teaching assistants.
Objectives
This module prepares teaching assistants to perform more effectively in the assessment of students’ performance.
Structure
The module is composed of one 2-hour workshop. The workshop will include examples and models to help explain and illustrate key concepts and strategies regarding effective assessment and marking of students’ performance.
Brief Description
Assessment should provide evidence of student learning across all the desired learning outcomes of a course. The Structure Of Learning Outcomes (SOLO) framework provides an elegant way to check the appropriateness of assessment tasks and to set up useful criteria for marking them. In the exercises in this module, issues about the reliability of marking of written work will also be explored. We will also specially address the assessment issues TAs usually encounter, which will cover the following assessment types: written work, problem sets, group work, laboratory work and presentations. Sharing of experience will also be conducted.
