Full Description:: Online seminar 4 November: 'The multiple limitations of assessment criteria'
Presenter: Emeritus Professor Sue Bloxham (University of Cumbria, UK)

This online session will explore the use of assessment criteria by experienced markers. Sue will draw on a recent study which identified five factors in the use of criteria that contribute to marking inconsistency. The implications for fairness, standards and guidance to students will be discussed. Discussion will also take place on alternatives and enhancements to assessment criteria as typically used in higher education.

Sessions are hosted by Professor Geoffrey Crisp, Dean Learning and Teaching, RMIT University and Dr Mathew Hillier, Institute for Teaching and Learning Innovation, University of Queensland, Australia.

Starting 07:00am Universal standard time (5PM Brisbane) time for 1 hour.
