  • Reflections on key skills

    Vicki Tariq, Allan Cochrane et al.ARTICLEJournal of Education Policy2003Cited by: 1

    This paper begins by providing an overview of the UK's national key skills agenda, with a view to placing in context the subsequent description of the formulation and implementation of a skills policy by a traditional, research‐led university, namely Queen's University Belfast. The paper is written from the perspective of two members of academic staff who spent two years on part‐time secondment as Skills Development Officers. We outline how a num…

  • Reflection and Feedback on Learning

    David Heylings, D J A Heylings et al.ARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…2001

    This paper describes how students and staff worked collaboratively to ensure curricular changes through staff development activities informed by student input. The activities resulted in a structured scheme for use with undergraduate research project work which: (a) supports students' active learning during the project, (b) formalises both formative and summative feedback, and (c) provides an opportunity for students to reflect upon the skills th…

    Open AccessBernadette C Hayes, Vicki Tariq et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2000

    Vicki Tariq, V N Tariq et al.ARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…1998

    Despite the inevitable constraints inherent in effecting a major change of policy and practice, a new approach to the assessment of undergraduate honours research projects in two science‐based teaching units was achieved through an evolutionary active research‐based process. The implications of a transition from a subjective assessment of honours projects to a more objective, criterion‐referenced strategy were investigated through implementation …

  • A Comparison of Tutor and Student Conceptions of Undergraduate Research Project Work

    L A J Stefani, Lorraine Stefani et al.ARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…1997

    Tutor and student conceptions of undergraduate research project work were evaluated following the distribution of questionnaires to 85 members of academic staff and 136 final‐year (honours) students in the Schools of Biology and Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, Queen's University of Belfast (QUB). The percentage of individuals submitting a return was 52% for staff and 38% for students. The issues considered included: (1) types and purpose of…

  • Group Projects for First-year University Students

    J W Garvin, Jessica Garvin et al.ARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…1995

    During the academic year 1992-93, Level 1 students in the biosciences were required to carry out group projects over a two-week period. A class of 120 students, divided into groups of four, was given one of three projects, the assessment of which contributed to their final end-of-semester marks. Students' views of the projects were assessed using a comprehensive questionnaire. The issues addressed include (1) student perceptions of project work; …
