This book offers fresh perspectives on the challenges of assessment and feedback in higher education. A must read for university leaders, academics, and educational developers, it asks 'what if' questions to unlock some of the systemic problems of assessment and feedback. It shifts the debate to focus on students' experience at a programme-level, introducing a different way of thinking about assessment and feedback and advancing the value of theories of alienation and engagement. Based on the 'Transforming the Experience of Students through Assessment' (TESTA) project, the book discusses a method for understanding the impact of assessment and feedback on student learning. It provides practical insights about changing programme assessment patterns to foster student agency and engagement. Giving impetus to change the way academics design assessment and feedback, it invites academics, educational leaders, and students into more transparent, open, and shared decision-making about assessment and feedback beyond the module-level.This key title is designed to support academics and educational leaders to make sustainable and systemic improvements to the pedagogy of assessment. It expands on good principles, practices, and theories about how students learn from assessment and feedback by paying attention to a programme-level perspective of the student experience.
