Clarification of program

During this workshop, you will bring your own materials and questions on the topic of assessment. For example: Are the exam questions clear and unambiguous, or could they be confusing for students? Have I covered the desired material, and at the appropriate level?Does this assessment give me a reliable indication of the students knowledge and understanding? Why does my exam have a low pass rate? How can I grade my exams and assignments more efficiently? You will discuss these questions in small groups. An outside view often helps to clarify uncertainties and may offer inspiration for a different approach. The groups are supervised by the TLC network’s assessment specialists.

This session is in Dutch unless there are English-speaking participants.

This workshop can also be scheduled on request for a group of instructors or an entire team.
