Dear all
I also have maths assessments scheduled and would be grateful for any suggestions on how this can be managed. One way I was thinking of doing this was to arrange access to online timed test to be accessed and completed by the individual student- and submitted within that time. Of course no guarantee on how this may work or implemented but it’s a thought?
Any suggestions or advances on this?

Subject: Assessment in the time of coronavirus... (with apologies to Márquez)
Hi all
There has already been some really useful discussion and posting around planning for university closures and remote working – thanks to all who’ve posted and contributed so far.
However, I thought I’d start a separate thread focussed specifically on the challenges of repurposing existing face-to-face assessment strategies for when (as it seems must inevitably soon be the case) universities are forced to close down their face-to-face operations and move to remote and online means of conducting their business.
For example, we’re currently wondering about how to replace time-constrained unseen examinations. We’ve been thinking about take-away exams, of course, but these are perhaps better suited to more ‘discursive’ subjects and to the assessment of higher-order cognitive skills (application, analysis, evaluation, etc.).
What if the learning outcomes for the module in question relate more to knowledge and understanding - I’d be keen to hear what thoughts people might have re the assessment of outcomes of this kind. And what of subjects in which there are ‘correct’ answers, e.g., maths?
Also, I wonder what thoughts people might have had re assessing practical skills and competences? These might normally be tested in practical tests, such as OSCEs – difficult to think how they might lend themselves to a takeaway approach
We’re developing a guidance document for colleagues at the moment, which we’ll be happy to share, but we’re keen to get a sense of what others are thinking.
Any thoughts?
Best wishes
John
