Description
Assessment really does matter in higher education. Internationally academics are seeking better ways to assess students, recognizing that diverse methods are available which may solve many of the problems associated with the evaluation of learning. This volume provides both theoretical perspectives and pragmatic advice on how to conduct effective assessment.
