TITLE:
Assessment with a Purpose in Statistics
SPEAKER:
Peter Holmes (RSS Centre for Statistical Education)
Abstract
Different forms of assessment can easily dominate teaching. In this talk
I look at the fundamental purpose of all assessment, how it links to
aims and learning outcomes, how assessment can both enhance and harm
learning, and how the different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy can be
matched with different forms of assessment in statistics.
