This September a new Masters Track

Assessing Learning in Higher Education addresses what is probably the most time-consuming part of the work of staff in higher education, and something to the complexity of which many of the recent developments in higher education have added. Getting assessment ‘right’– that is, designing and implementing…

The research of the group Learning and Behavior Problems in Education addresses learning difficulties in the areas of reading (technical reading and reading comprehension) math and writing, and examines learning-related behaviors behaviors.
