The University of Reading Vice-Chancellor's Awards took place earlier this week!
We are incredibly proud of our colleagues Dr Jess Neumann, Dr Hilary Geoghegan, and Dr Alison Macleod, alongside their student partners, who received an award for their collaborative work developing a new assessment brief template. 🎉🏆
The template is now widely used across teaching within the School of Archaeology, Geography and Environmental Science, where it helps to create greater consistency and clearer communication around assessments.
One of the GES students involved in the project, Niamh Pipe, shared the following:
"After speaking to students from a range of year groups, it was clear students were unhappy with the way assessment information is communicated and the lack of consistency between modules.
We worked with staff to design a new assessment brief to improve the communication between staff and students. We hope that the work we have done will improve students' experience when completing assessments and lead to a positive change within the department."
Congratulations to everyone involved! 👏
