Traditional university assessment and feedback practices are based on a model of lecturer as ‘expert’ and student as ‘novice’. Typically, the lecturer will write assessment tasks, set the criteria that work is judged against, produce feedback and award grades. This session questions the validity and desirability of such an approach. Based on recent research, it encourages participants to consider alternative, more ‘democratic’ and participatory, models of assessment and feedback.
