Summative assessment
The aim of the course is to increase your awareness of how to create summative assessments to measure your students’ learning. The course also aims to stimulate a reflective approach to teaching and learning.
Scope and conditions
This course corresponds to two weeks of university studies (80 hours) and is based on five joint course meetings. During the course, you need to dedicate some time to reading the literature, doing some assignments, and participating in group discussions. Attendance on scheduled days is mandatory.
The course is free for employees at Karolinska Institutet and county council employees who teach/supervise Karolinska Institutets' students. The participant should buy the course literature (if it is unavailable through the KI library).
Target group
The course is aimed at those responsible for or involved in designing assessments.
Course content and structure
The course will include different types of written assessments, performance and workplace assessments, digital assessments, standard-setting methods, and validity and reliability.
During the course, the participants should take the responsibility of learning and bring some examples about their previous exams to work on them as examples. All participants are allowed to work with and further develop their own/authentic assessments.
Language
All lectures/presentations are given in English. Discussions and seminars take place in small groups in English.
Merit
