There is loads out there on Assessment and Feedback from loads of people. That is part of the problem ... there is so much it would take too long to read and digest - the teaching block would be over before you'd got half way through ! It is hoped then that this page will act as an initial signpost towards some of those resources - if nothing else to get you going ...

What do we mean by Assessment ?
http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/InfoKits/effective-use-of-VLEs/e-assessment/assess-purpose

This resource from one of the JISC InfoKits attempts to pull together some ideas about what assessment is and to a certain extent, why we assess at all – nothing mind blowing here, but maybe mind clarifying instead ...
Three types of assessment
http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/InfoKits/effective-use-of-VLEs/e-assessment/assess-methods

Another one from the same InfoKit – again nothing ground breaking, but all good stuff if you aren’t already sure about it ...
Characteristics of a "Good" assessment programme
http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/InfoKits/effective-use-of-VLEs/e-assessment/assess-characteristics

Yet another one from the same InfoKit – all very valid points to consider ...

The standout sentence, which rather sums up the whole page is: "The key factor in determining whether an assessment programme is good depends on whether the assessment tasks are relevant to the aims and intended learning outcomes for the course, not forgetting the attitudes and skills that are to be tested."
E-Assessment - An Overview
http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/InfoKits/effective-use-of-VLEs/e-assessment/assess-overview

The beginning page of a small set introducing the concept of e-assessment.
A student critique of written feedback
http://www.adm.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/features/could-do-better-students-critique-of-written-feedback

A badly formatted page which still manages to deliver some interesting points !
Enhancing Feedback for Engineering Students
http://www.engsc.ac.uk/downloads/scholarart/enhancing-feedback-for-engineering-students.pdf

Despite the title, also useful for non-engineers !
Feedback experiences
http://vimeo.com/channels/154640

Actually an HEA video, hosted on Vimeo as the HEA are re-doing their video pages. Clips of interviews with academic staff and students about the feedback experiences they have had ... very enlightening !

The bit at 9.10 is a bit depressing though ...
Audio Feedback

You don't always have to write it ! We've had some successful implementations of this here at Swansea.
