Description
Assessment can be the single most daunting thing about studying. A lot rests on the outcome of the assessments and they are the focus of most questions to tutors. This session aims to remove some o...f the mystery around assessment and to give you some tips on how to take the stress and panic out of writing assessments. The session will look at what assessment is, why it is there and how it is developed. We will give you practical advice on preparing and writing assignments. We talk about the support that is available and what to do if you are struggling. Rather than being a hurdle to get over, assessment is an essential part of your learning process. We do not promise that you will ‘love’ assessments, but if you start to consider how you will use the assessments rather than just how to get them out of the way, we will consider the session a success.
