Abstract

Mediating students’ learning experiences through curriculum and assessment (Kift, 2015) is particularly important at a regional university with highly diverse student populations. This presentation investigates the efficacy of an approach that aims to simultaneously develop first year students’ “productive dispositions” (Kilpatrick, Swafford, & Findell, 2006) towards higher education assessment and written communication skills.
