Collecting student feedback
A study was conducted comparing the feedback received from students about teaching obtained using different instruments. Twelve first‐ and second‐year undergraduate modules were selected from seven different schools within a single university. Students studying each module were allocated to ‘questionnaire’ and ‘comparator’ groups. ‘Questionnaire’ students completed the standard end‐of‐module questionnaire, whilst ‘comparator’ groups evaluated the…

Student Peer Assessment in Higher Education
Forty-eight quantitative peer assessment studies comparing peer and teacher marks were subjected to meta-analysis. Peer assessments were found to resemble more closely teacher assessments when global judgements based on well understood criteria are used rather than when marking involves assessing several individual dimensions. Similarly, peer assessments better resemble faculty assessments when academic products and processes, rather than profess…
Improving Groupworking Skills in Undergraduates Through Employer Involvement
Frequently undergraduate project work involves students working in groups. Such groupworking is often problematic owing to poor groupworking skills on the part of the students involved, yet ‘teamwork’ is one of those generic skills highly prized by employers. This study describes a pilot project to involve employers in the development of groupworking skills in undergraduate students, with the aims of increasing student awareness of group dynamics…
A Two-stage Housing Choice Forecasting Model
A new housing choice forecasting model is developed here to answer a practical question: how to forecast housing demand at a disaggregate level. Being different from the previous housing choice models, this model is derived from housing sub-market structure based on a random utility approach. Housing choice is thought to be a joint choice of all the components associated with a dwelling, These components create a huge bundle of dwelling alternati…
The effectiveness of school-type classes compared to the traditional lecture/tutorial method for teaching quantitative methods to business students
This paper isolates and quantifies the effect of different teaching methods for teaching mathematics and statistics to large first year groups of business students with very diverse mathematical backgrounds. One set of students was split into medium sized groups, each of which was taught rather like a school class. The other set had a large formal lecture together with small tutorial sessions. The reactions of students and staff were sought, and …
Further Developments in Peer Assessment of Group Projects
This report advises of refinements to the peer assessment technique detailed in Goldfinch & Raeside's paper of 1990. This technique is used to assign individual marks to the members of a team who have been working on a group project. The improvements include a way of easing the administrative burden of the technique for the lecturer, and a safeguard against an observed problem whereby over‐generous students effectively penalised themselves
Development of a Peer Assessment Technique for Obtaining Individual Marks on a Group Project
The use of peer assessment as a way of differentiating between individual students on a group project is discussed. A new style of peer appraisal questionnaire for the students to complete is introduced, together with the detailed description of a method of calculating a ‘peer assessment factor’ from these questionnaires. This factor allocates to an individual group member a percentage of the mark awarded to the group's project submission. The re…
