Assessment tasks<\/h1>\n

Assessment of student research for public engagement<\/h2>\n

Integration into summative assessment validates student research for public engagement as an integral part of academic study. In some scenarios, public engagement enables the integration of practice with theory that would be missing otherwise. Many common assessment tasks \u00a0readily lend themselves to public dissemination. In theses case, students are able to perceive the public engagement aspect as value added, not as a source of anxiety due to unfamiliarity.<\/p>\n
