Opis

The fourth volume in this series deals with one of the ubiquitous higher and further education subjects. With a practice-based approach, the text avoids being overly academic and instead uses a case study format to detail a wide range of approaches to assessment. In addition, the book covers new assessment techniques, such as assessment by portfolio, peer assessment and computer-assisted assessment, all of which are high on the academic agenda. The case studies are international, focusing on the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the US.
