Course Overview
Are you looking for ways to think about and improve how you assess and evaluate students’ work?
The Higher Education (HE) Assessment and Evaluation Practice course, which is a key component of the Postgraduate Diploma in HE Studies, is open as a stand-alone course to all UCT academics. If you are keen to discover and think about new and dynamic approaches to assessment or re-think standard written and oral examination assessments, you are invited to enrol for this opportunity to engage with others on formative and summative assessment approaches.
This course will help you to examine whether your current assessment methods are aligned to what you are doing and will also help to address challenges of taking assessment and evaluation practices online.
In addition, the course looks at evaluation practices in higher education contexts. Where assessment practices are focused on the student, evaluation practices are focused on the course or programme level. You are introduced to a range of frameworks against which to design an evaluation. You are encouraged to reflect on your own evaluation practice and consider all stakeholders involved in an evaluation in terms of what they contribute and in what ways they limit the conclusions that can be drawn. You will design your own evaluation framework and be introduced to a meta-analytic lens through which to evaluate your own evaluation framework.
