Using innovative assessment to enhance student engagement and develop critical thinking skills: the case of The Big Debate
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: Introduction This case study presents the development of an assessed activity, The Big Debate, designed to move final year undergraduate business students from a surface to a deeper learning perspective. In doing this, it aims to build their confidence with the use of a wide range of academic material and to think critically. We discuss how insights from existing literature informed the design and objectives of the intervention. Details of the implementation and how it has evolved as a result of feedback received from a small, pilot cohort (n = 24) will be explored, along with plans for future developments.
