Publisher's Synopsis
This publication will give adult education tutors plenty of useful information and ideas about assessing adult learning. It can be used either as a reference source for information about assessment or as a practical tool for tutors to photocopy and use their teaching. The text has been extensively piloted prior to publication. After a brief discussion on the meaning of assessment, the pack goes on to look at why assessment is necessary, who can assess, when assessment should take place and what forms it can take. The pack helps tutors to: recognise the assessment work they are already doing; develop ideas about other ways to assess, including non-paper-based methods; think of different ways of recording assessment; and provide useful and sensitive feedback after assessment.
