Assessment & Feedback

An Academic Developer's View on Assessment & Feedback

Assessment is a complex part of teaching and learning. There are no universal solutions, and what works well in one discipline, programme or learning context may not be right for another. 
Assessment design inevitably involves judgement and trade-offs. There is rarely a single perfect approach, and uncertainty is a normal part of designing for complex learning environments. We therefore see assessment design as an ongoing process of reflection, evaluation and iterative development.

We hope these resources are useful in supporting that process. If you would like to discuss any of the topics in more depth, please contact me or a member of the team, or consider taking part in our CPD opportunities for TU Dublin teaching staff.
