‘This was really different!' Alternative perspectives on the student experience of assessment: alienation and engagement

Sambell, Kay

Abstract

This chapter focuses on students' experiences of engagement in the context of assessment. It explores one case study, which formed part of a university-wide attempt to promote Assessment of Learning (AfL), based on strong arguments in the research literature that higher education assessment practices need to be rethought and renewed.
