After all the hours of studying, reading and preparation, the
nights spent revising and the writing and re-writing of
assignments, 'success' for university students can often be
represented with a single grade or digit, summing up a wide range
of activities. The authors of this timely book ask how fair that
assessment is. This book is about a long-ignored determinant of
student satisfaction, concerning the perception of how fairly
students are judged, marked, ranked and rewarded for demonstrating
their capabilities at university. In the high stakes competitive
field of higher education, students are increasingly positioned as
customers whose views on their university experience are considered
vitally important. Yet paradoxically, little research has been
undertaken to find out more about how students decide whether they
have been treated fairly and what they do about it. This book fills
a major gap in our understanding of these issues, responding to
four key questions: Why is the assessment of students' capabilities
the core business of universities? What are the main sources of
student frustration with assessment arrangements? What do students
do when they think they have been treated unfairly? What can be
done to promote fair assessment at university? In doing so, this
book goes beyond the superficial consideration of university
assessment as a 'necessary requirement' by unravelling the
underlying issues that really count - what is considered fair
assessment and what is not. Towards Fairer University Assessment
will be of interest to higher education academics, administrators
and managers, researchers in the areas of education policy and
politics, as well as advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
students.
