Assessment enhancement

The workshop will investigate how staff who teach can support their students in developing an understanding of academic integrity, and avoiding misconduct. This will include:  

• Facilitator sharing current perspectives and information on: concerns in misconduct, approaches in developing student understanding of integrity and good practice, LSE policies (including Turnitin, online proctoring), LSE resources and opportunities to support students, participants will contribute to initial sharing examples of common problems relating to academic integrity (e.g. student misconceptions, patterns in poor referencing or source use, unauthorised collaboration), through the course of the workshop, participants will create a plan of activities and communications, to build students’ understanding of integrity in relation to their specific courses and assessments. 

 This workshop complements the  Rethink the links between formative assessment and summative assessment and Giving effective feedback: what do we mean by it? The three assessment-related workshops are complementary to each other; however, one can take them in whatever order they wish.

Wednesday, May 10 (1-2pm), please sign up here.

Across the higher education sector in the UK, programme teams are exploring programme-level approaches to the review, design and development of programmes moving beyond a focus on individual course-level design and delivery. Research suggests that moving away from a siloed approach to programme design may enable our students to experience a more coherent progressive learning journey during their time at university including a more streamlined, integrated assessment experience.

At this first in a new series of Eden Assessment Dialogues, three academics across the School who have been leading on the (re-)design and delivery of undergraduate programmes will discuss the approaches they have taken and reflect on this experience:

Catherine Allerton – Professor, Head of Department, Department of Anthropology, LSE
Bradley Franks – Professorial Lecturer, Deputy Head of Department for Teaching Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science
Dimitra Petropoulou – Professorial Lecturer,  Deputy Head of Department (Education), Department of Economics
Chair: Claire Gordon – Director, Eden Centre of Education Enhancement, LSE
