Graduate qualities and assessment
Overview
Assessment is the key to the development of Graduate Qualities.
There are two issues associated with this. First, assessment provides a significant incentive for students to engage in the learning experiences you have designed. Students make decisions about how best to spend their time and so if we really value particular kinds of learning then it makes sense to reward student involvement through the allocation of marks. Second, we can only give stakeholders the assurance that our students have actually achieved the Graduate Qualities we have intended through our curricula if we are able to point to evidence of their development. Assessment is the most obvious way of doing this.The central issue here is developing assessment tasks that provide opportunities for demonstration and development of the mix of Graduate Qualities identified in your course objectives and Graduate Qualities profile.
