== Assessment Overview ==
A well-designed assessment will not only ensure that students have engaged with the content that you want them to have covered, but that they have achieved the learning outcomes you intended: new skills, new understandings etc. Here you will note the general feature of the assessment for this learning session; you will design the actual assessment activity (or activities) separately.

 * Is this a '''diagnostic, formative or summative assessment'''?

 * What are the '''assessment criteria''' for this session?
 If the assessment criteria are laid out in a separate document, you can include here a reference to that document instead of writing the criteria out in full.

 If you are designing assessment criteria for the first time, you might find the following Websites helpful:

This site has a link to a page of [http://www.polyu.edu.hk/assessment/arc/links/reference_e_criteria.htm useful resources].

 * Add any '''other notes''' relevant to the assessment.
 For example, if this learning session is part of a non-accredited course, do you need to record students’ progress and achievement (e.g. [http://www.niace.org.uk/Projects/RARPA/Default.htm RARPA])? How/where will you do this?
