The Fourth Annual ‘Learning at City’ Conference, held at City University London on Wednesday 13 June, included presentations by a senior undergraduate student from the Centre for Music Studies as well as a member of staff.

James Perkins, a final-year student on the BMus programme who was recently elected  Vice President (Education) of the Students’ Union, spoke on a question-and-answer panel about the students’ perspectives on a wide range of assessment and feedback issues in Higher Education. This session can be viewed online here.

Dr Christopher Wiley, Senior Lecturer in Music and a University Learning Development Associate, gave a presentation entitled ‘Divided by a Common Language? Evaluating Students’ Understanding of the Vocabulary of Assessment and Feedback at City University London’ (see video here) which asked whether certain key terms used in assessment and feedback practices might hold a subtly different meaning for students than for staff, presenting evidence from a series of consultations with students.
