Abstract
The link between assessment and learning is widely acknowledged and highly significant. Sainsbury and Walker (2007), for example, mention four functions of assessment that directly influence student learning: motivating learning, focusing learning, consolidating and structuring learning, and guiding and correcting learning. Rust (2007) concludes that “any scholarship of assessment must therefore be predicated on the value that good assessment supports and positively influences student learning.”
