W03-3: Assessment In this lesson we focus on a further element in the constructive Alignment process: Assessment. We build on last lessons ILOs and will identify ways in which we can assess whether the ILOs have been met by the students. To get an idea of what assessment formats there are:

L03: Writing task: summary “Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.” (Mark Twain) This session addresses your ability to summarize, paraphrase and quote since these are crucial academic writing skills, which help you use secondary literature and studies effectively to support your own findings.
