Please add any interesting types of assessment that you practice or have seen to this Padlet: We are wanting to collate a smorgasbord of ideas to inspire us to think more broadly than essay/lab report/MCQ. Variety on assessment type develops a broader range of transferrable skills and reduces the impact of a single type of assessment disadvantaging some learners en-us 2022-05-18 12:09:19 UTC 2022-06-08 14:43:31 UTC hello@padlet.com susananderson8 https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2213514382 1000 words focussing on the 3 elements of my module: normal histology, pathology and tissue processing. Worked really well to link all aspects. Students started with a patient sample, described how they processed and stained the tissue and diagnosed a pathology (of their choice) using images from the virtual microscope and comparing pathological to normal. Transferrable skills were IT skills for diagrams/flowcharts, writing concisely, preparing figures and methodology etc]]> 2022-06-07 11:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2213514382 iankerrsbd https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2213518211 for the last few years we have run assessed project vivas 3-4 weeks before the project hand-in (i.e. year UG project). Students do a short powerpoint over Teams, followed by short Q&A. In our feedback (which we do as quickly as possible - a few days) we give students a "it is likely that your write-up would be better if you .....". So the viva is partly to gauge their knowledge of the project but also partly to help them. [informally we believe students appreciate this]]]> 2022-06-07 11:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2213518211 https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2213518830 I provide a few papers students can pick from to evaluate, and I give a lecture on "how to dissect a News & Views". 1500 words max, can refer to 10 references, and only include one figure. It is an incredibly effective discriminator in terms of assessing understanding!]]> 2022-06-07 11:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2213518830 Bev_Allan https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2214628704 Students write 5 MCQs based on half the LOs in a topic, they then answer and provide an evalutation on 5 different MCQs written by their peers on the other half of the LOs. However, this may not help with large cohorts in terms of marking and feedback!]]> 2022-06-08 07:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2214628704 matthewjacques https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2214815953 Client Report/Communicating to a lay-audience

Tutorial groups contain one student from each poster. Students listen to the recordings from all of their tutorial group members and write down 2 questions. In the tutorial each student must ask 1 question and answer 2, the academic facilitates this by selecting the first question asker, and inviting a volunteer second question. Overall, the students learn (i) critical analysis to improve their poster and that of others, (ii) how to ask and answer questions, (iv) do a short oral presentation, (v) do a poster, (vi) the knowledge embedded in all the subtopics. The scientific content, oral presentation and Q&A can all be assessed summatively, and the peer observation can include a mark component.]]> 2022-06-08 14:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/susananderson8/9qn5n7n0a1tc9quz/wish/2215086829
