06 (Part 1) - Assessment at University

University academics - all of whom are teachers of undergraduate students - share their knowledge about assessment practices at university. What assessments are set? Which assessments are first-year students particularly adept at and which ones do they struggle with? And what skills do academics wish their students could be more familiar with when they arrive at university? In Part 1 of this discussion, we hear from: Associate Professor in Sport and Exercise Science Disa Pryor of the University of Canberra (1:47), Professor of Astrophysics Paul Francis of the ANU (8:39), Professor Michael Platow from the ANU Research School of Psychology (15:46), Senior Lecturer in Economics Dr John Hawkins from the University of Canberra (29:14), and Dr Michelle Worthington from the ANU College of Law (41:33).
