Assessment workshop protocols
Each workshop follows the standard format of a brief rationale followed by a number of suggested activities and relevant handouts. The workshops can be delivered individually or as a complete series, or specific activities can be selected from them for integration into existing programmes or tutorials.
Workshop 1 is a general introduction to assessment criteria and why they are important. Workshops 2, 3 and 4 each cover two assessment criteria, though separate workshops could be dedicated to each of the criteria if preferred. Finally, workshop 5 gets students to put it all together and apply what they have learned to their next essay or look at a past essay and see how it could be improved.
Please note: The following documents are formatted for double-sided printing.
- Workshop 1: What are assessment criteria?
- Workshop 2: Addressing the question and structuring the answer
- Workshop 3: Demonstrating understanding and developing argument
- Workshop 4: Use of evidence and evaluation
- Workshop 5: Applying the criteria to your own work
