Opis

A comprehensive guide to assessment issues, particularly for those professionals coming to terms with the range of new pressures on their traditional teaching practices. The authors analyse traditional methods and offer suggestions for how they may be developed to suit modern learning and teaching practice. The book is intended as a practical resource, with reflection boxes and diagnostic tools that encourage readers to apply the principles to their own practice.
