Margaret Price
For 3 weeks in March 2009, Professor in Learning and Assessment from Oxford Brookes UK, Margaret Price, visited the Business School. During her stay she conducted fora on Assessment, Feedback and Large classes, a workshop on Preparing the Groundwork for Aligning your Assessment and a university seminar on Shaping Assessment for the Future. All related to issues and best practices in areas of assessment, assessment standards and feedback. Below is a brief summary of the forums and workshop that were conducted. Almost 100% of participants at her events found them useful and informative. In response to their feedback this page has been created and will contain PDF files of all the presentations Professor Price has done at University of Sydney:
