Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: Embedding employability skills into a new module by diversifying assessment in collaboration with students

Focusing upon the importance of embedding employability skills into more diverse assessments and our innovative collaborative student-focused approach this session will introduce our collaborative staff-student partnership approach to designing assessments for a new Law module. Law can be a very traditional subject with rather staid assessments so working in partnership with students we actively sought student input to explore their views on assessments looking at the types of assessment weighting and timing. The result is an innovative module format with novel assessments for Law undergraduates reflecting the key employability skills identified by staff students and employers.
