Assessment and Feedback

At the University of Reading, our approach is grounded in Assessment for Learning (AfL) principles, which emphasise authenticity and continuous improvement through formative feedback and self-regulation.

Assessment is designed to be varied, inclusive and proportionate. It is carefully planned across a programme, providing extensive opportunities for confidence building and practice. Assessment is distributed effectively to support both staff and student learning and wellbeing.
