ASSESSMENT

Here at the School of Applied Social Sciences (SASS), we design assessments to embrace Social Justice Pedagogy (MacArthur 2015). Social Justice Pedagogy aims to educate and enable students to become active citizens, understanding social inequalities and be able to challenge such injustices in wider society.

Your assessments are also designed to develop your employability skills and are ‘applied’ in the sense that they reflect the real world of work that you might enter when you leave. For us it is crucial to ensure we have ‘Assessments for Learning’ as well as ‘Assessments of Learning’
