This paper presents a number of innovative examples using this approach, with the aim of promoting student creativity and analytical skills in ways different from traditional report- or essay-based assessments. It goes on to consider some of the advantages and challenges of this alternative assessment mode, from both student and tutor perspectives, across the science-humanities divide.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"265 1","pages":"2 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74934448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, recent National Student Survey (NSS) results have shown there to be a large degree of student dissatisfaction regarding assessment feedback right across the Higher Education sector in the UK. Evaluating feedback mechanisms in the School of Earth and Environment was a project at the University of Leeds, designed to evaluate the provision of assessment feedback through in-depth consultation with staff and students about current practices, with a view to building upon good practice and creating a strategy for further improvement. Data gathered via focus groups and questionnaires was distilled into a key set of recommendations for ways forward. The recommendations focused on two main strategies: a) the creation of a new comprehensive feedback code of practice for staff, and b) raising student awareness of their rights regarding feedback provision as well as their responsibility to engage with feedback and how to get the most from it. These initiatives have been supported by a distinct, highly visual and sustained advertising campaign designed to act as a corollary to raising staff and student awareness of assessment feedback.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"22 1","pages":"36 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85915522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the pedagogic value of immersive field learning in mind (Panelli and Welch, 2005; Boyle et al., 2007), field courses run by SoGEES (School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences) at Plymouth University are designed to offer a hands-on practically-orientated experience where the theory of the classroom is augmented by experiential learning (Williams et al., 1999; McGuinness and Simm, 2005; QAA, 2007; Maskall and Stokes, 2008). Within this paradigm, Plymouth University offers undergraduate residential field courses in exciting and far-flung overseas locations, where the immersive environment of intensive experiential learning and teaching serves as a deep learning experience (Hill et al., 2004) which promotes a step change in skills, knowledge and understanding for students (Bloom et al., 1971; McEwan, 1996).","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"96 1","pages":"23 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82390583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Student groups present their pitch through a combination of video, oral and poster presentations and supplementary documents. This paper describes the implementation of the pitch assessment within an existing large group module over a two-year period and proposes that GEES subjects are well suited to this type of assessment. The new assessment exposes students to the realities of environmental management while also encouraging students to engage with employability. Student evaluation suggests that the assessment was enjoyable, supported a range of learning styles, and successfully encouraged students to identify their relevant skills and experiences and directed them towards consideration of future career options. The assessment style is flexible and appropriate for a range of contexts within the GEES disciplines.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"43 1","pages":"2 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84268915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper evaluates the results of a pilot study for an exercise designed to introduce undergraduate geographers to the problems of interpreting emotional messages from an unfamiliar culture and world view. It is based on the screening of a film “Rasa Yatra: A Pilgrimage to the Heart of India”, which communicates a spiritual, non-western message through images and music. Learners are set the task of interpreting the emotional content of this film and of trying to share the feelings of an Other. Although almost the whole class claimed this exercise to be both enjoyable and worthwhile, only a fifth made any systematic attempt to engage with the film’s emotional content, while more remained detached spectators. Several learners attempted objective analyses of the film’s structures, some focused on embedded cross-cultural ethical issues concerning social justice or gender, while others sought counterpoints between tradition vs. modernity, material vs. spiritual, etc. Very few drew on their prior learning about visual methodologies in Geography although many employed theory learnt within previous sessions of this same class. It is debated whether the use of questionnaires or more simple interpretive prompts would have improved the outcome. Meanwhile, the film provides an easily accessible resource for work on intercultural communication and internationalisation of the Geography curriculum.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"92 1","pages":"51 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83824889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
