Assessment and learning

'The single, strongest influence on learning is surely the assessment procedures... even the form of an examination question or essay topics set can affect how students study … It is also important to remember that entrenched attitudes which support traditional methods of teaching and assessment are hard to change.' (Entwistle quoted in Knight, 2002, p. 276)
