Pedagogical paradox or tension? What our research on assessment deadlines is telling us about constructive alignment

Cameron, Jackie; Gutu, Mavis; Kurtzke, Simone

Abstract

In this 15-minute talk, we present the theoretical twists and turns of our research on deadline extensions at The Business School, Edinburgh Napier University. We share preliminary findings of our quantitative data analysis on high-stakes assessments. We save the last five minutes for a snap debate on whether leniency helps or hinders efforts to enhance inclusivity, as we reach the final furlong of our study.
