Designing and conducting student assessment
“Above all, rethinking assessment can lessen plagiarism and collusion. By reconsidering exactly what they are seeking to assess, institutions can make the tasks more relevant to future employment needs and reduce the opportunities they offer for plagiarism. Integrating different elements of assessment can enhance student learning while providing an opportunity to crosscheck the authenticity of work.” (p.4)
