Negotiated Assessment: principles and practices
Negotiated assessment was developed as a way of ensuring that students were active agents in assessment rather than objects of assessment. Originally developed to meet the challenges of issues such as parity, equivalence and fairness in creative arts disciplines, negotiated assessment can be applied across a range of disciplines. Currently it is used by several programmes and a whole HE institution. In this masterclass workshop Paul Kleiman will describe the negotiated approach to assessment and will explore how it might be adapted and applied across a range of disciplines. This workshop is open to colleagues from all disciplines.
