Exploring student perspectives on assessment practices in an engineering context

This study explores the influence of assessment on student approaches to learning through the voice of the student. Focus groups were conducted with four groups of students with varying academic performance in their second, third and fourth year of their engineering studies. The study reveals the importance of constructive alignment in assessment design. Specific findings relate to tutorials, assignments and group work.
