Assessment, learning, and student well-being, with undergraduates Jordan Leeson and Hyeonwoo Park

Interested in knowing what students think about sharing the responsibility of improving assessment practices in higher ed? In this episode of our miniseries on assessment and well-being, we ask Jordan and Woo to explain their perspectives on the emotions bound up with assessment and their potential impact on learning. Listen to Woo and Jordan describe hurdles they’ve faced, as well as assessment tasks that challenged them academically, allowed their creativity to flourish, and provided opportunities for life-long learning.  View the transcript.
