Assessing student learning

Chapter 4 in Teaching International Law, 2024, pp 81-105 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: A central part of any course, especially for students, are the mechanisms used to assess student learning. Chapter 4 considers different ways of achieving this. We start with the time-honored approach of examinations, in particular midterm and most often final exams that present students with hypothetical scenarios and ask them to analyze the legal issues and prospective arguments involved. The chapters covers the merits and limitations of such exams as well as how to improve their use for those instructors who choose them. We also offer other forms of assessment (e.g., essay examinations, term papers, case briefs, short writing assignments), offering suggested practices for when and how they might be adopted to enhance and evaluate student learning.
