Forms of Assessment

Unseen Examinations

Description

This is the traditional form of summative assessment. Students are confronted with a number of questions, in essay, problem, short-answer or multiple-choice format, about which they have either minimal or no prior information, and have to produce answers in a set period, with recourse to no other resources than those in their heads, or specific equipment provided by the examiner.
