Assessment Manifesto

• Students feel proud of what they’ve

done when they submit the task

• I look forward to marking the

submissions

• Submissions are manageable to mark

and moderate

• The contribution of the task to the

overall aims of the course is clear

• Someone else could run the

assessment task easily if I fall under

the proverbial bus

Dynamic ContentReal world content tends to change in real time
