UTQ ASSESS
The UTQ module ASSESS focuses on assessment through exams, projects and assignments. It can be a great tool for guiding student development when designed and executed in a valid, reliable, transparent, effective and practical manner.

- Design their teaching in a practically and logistically feasible (doable) way.
Competence 2: Teaching and Supervising

- Supervise students, individually and in groups.
Competence 3: Assessment
- Design and implement the assessment of student development and learning outcomes.
- Analyse the assessment results and draw conclusions.
Competence 4: Evaluating Teaching

Working Method during the Module
During this module, you will develop or improve an assessment for your course. You may work on an exam, a project or an assignment. The module consists of three parts:
- Constructive Alignment at Course Level: Map out the alignment of all assessments within your course.
- Student Results Analysis: Analyse the students’ results obtained during one of the course assessments. The data will enable you to identify points for improvement for both the assessment and the course as a whole.
- Assessment Design or Improvement: develop or refine one of your course assessments and grading guide and reflect on your assessment practice.
Additional practical information on the module:
- Blended learning: combining face-to-face instruction with online learning.
