  2. DRAFT Assessment Policy • The draft policy when completed and approved will replace the University of Plymouth Assessment Policy (2007). • Following an extensive review of other HEI’s assessment policies (both UK and international) it is proposed to move away from a bulky paper-based assessment handbook (over 90 pages) to a flexible on-line resource that will be able to hold a wealth of resources. • The QAA (2013) Quality Code for HE: Chapter B6:Assessment of students and recognition of prior learning ; the NUS Charter(2010)on Feedback & Assessment and the Plymouth University NSS and SPQ survey (2013) have informed this policy review.

  3. Assessment for Learning 2013 – 2015 Project Authentic learning and inclusive assessment in all Plymouth University programmes ‘Everyone working to the same agenda and challenges’ • Plymouth University inclusive assessment ambition • ‘all students will have an equitable, supported assessment experience’. • Inclusive assessments will :- • Fairly evaluate students’ ability to meet module and programme learning outcomes and academic standards. • Be accessible for all students. • Provide every student with an equal opportunity to demonstrate their achievement. • Support student engagement, learning, progression ,retention and address the needs of our diverse student population. • Be authentic and offer students contextualised meaningful tasks that replicate real world challenges through effective programme design.

  4. Inclusive Assessment is a ‘win-win’ approach: • Uses the same assessment for all students; taken at anytime and any location (ODL friendly) • Reduces staff workload. • Minimises MAPs. • Uses instant resits if required to reduce the need for Plymouth-based August exams. • Increases NSS & SPQ scores. ‘Everyone working to the same agenda and challenges’
