BIG IDEA Number 4
Students learn better if they have sound and frequent assessment opportunities
Good assessment is valid, reliable, practical, developmental, manageable, cost-effective, fit for purpose, relevant, authentic, closely linked to learning outcomes and fair. Is it possible also to make it enjoyable for staff and students? Incremental assessment has more value in promoting student learning than end-point ‘sudden death’ approaches.

I agree with this idea but how do we fit this type of assessment into University policies on limited assessment items and workload forumla that do not recognise additional effort required for innovative assessment?
