A Quality Assurance and Enhancement Tool
There a number of institutions where it is part of the course design process for assignments, before delivery to students, to be first passed to colleagues for checking and comment. The guidelines can be used to inform this process.
Where student evaluation data, at course or programme level, yields a negative perception of the communication of assessment requirements and expectations, the guidelines can provide a more finely grained analysis of the nature of this perceived communication gap and thus facilitate development.
