Description

Assessment is an important part of any education programme. However, following tradition, many academics offer modules that are lecture-based with a formal unseen examination as the principal assessment. This book explores issues regarding student assessment in university-level physics education. The purposes of assessment and current issues are covered in depth alongside analysis of the different types of assessment applied in university physics departments, and suggestions on how assessment might be improved. With a firm emphasis on practical experience and numerous examples of current assessments, the book serves as a guide to academics new to assessment, as a refresher to more experienced academics who wish to think more deeply about what they are trying to achieve, and as a challenge to senior figures working on higher education infrastructure. 

Author Biography:

In 2002, he joined the Institute of Physics as Director of Education and Science, where he had overall responsibility for the Institute’s work in education at all age levels, research and diversity. In 2015, he joined King’s College London to become Head of Physics; he retained his interest in many projects in physics education and diversity and these interests continue following his retirement from King’s in July 2020.
