Tomas, Carmen; Jessop, Tansy – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2019
In spite of the rising tide of metrics in UK higher education, there has been scant attention paid to assessment loads, when evidence demonstrates that heavy demands lead to surface learning. Our study seeks to redress the situation by defining assessment loads and comparing them across research and teaching intensive universities. We clarify the…

Graham, Alison I.; Harner, Christie; Marsham, Sara – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2022
Student frustration with the level and content of feedback is well-noted, especially in relation to new or unfamiliar assessment types. At the same time, students are often unlikely to engage with marking and feedback processes, including the use of rubrics or marking criteria before submission. The aim of this project was to build students'…

Emma Pritchard-Rowe; Carmen de Lemos; Katie Howard; Jenny Gibson – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Play is often included in autism diagnostic assessments. These tend to focus on 'deficits' and non-autistic interpretation of observable behaviours. In contrast, a neurodiversity-affirmative assessment approach involves centring autistic perspectives and focusing on strengths, differences and needs. Accordingly, this study was designed to focus on…

Kyle Grayson; J. Paul Grayson – Quality in Higher Education, 2024
Quality of universities is best viewed through the eyes of stakeholders. Yet, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, rankings conducted by various agencies purport to provide one overall measure of university quality. This article re-examines some of the data used by university rankers. In so doing, it shows that their information can be repackaged…

Saul Hillman; Katharine Anderson; Christina Demetri; Richard Cross – Child Care in Practice, 2024
To date, there is a lack of suitable assessment tools specifically for the looked after child population. Such assessments, often completed by foster carers, help to provide an overview of a child's presenting level of emotional and behavioural need, and are evidential in offering a pathway to further provision and services for young people in…

Wood, Colin; Jones, Gareth – Research in Post-Compulsory Education, 2020
Summative feedback provides individualised support for students in formal learning situations; however, numerous studies show that academic practice in summative feedback is highly uneven, that the purposes are poorly understood and that the provision of developmental feedback is often subsidiary to the justification of the assessment decisions.…

By adopting the principles of Exploratory Practice with my undergraduates studying academic and business English, I…

Konstantinidis-Pereira, Alicja; Scott, Ian – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2021
The use of grade point average (GPA) as a means to summarise learning is a novel practice in the UK. The aim of this study was to determine if the inclusion of assessment results from student's first-year of study in the calculation of GPA is deleterious to students from a widening participation (WP) background. Assessment marks of full-time…
