Literature seminar - The benefits and drawbacks of high‑stakes final examinations
Welcome to this literature seminar, where we will read A review of the benefits and drawbacks of high‑stakes final
examinations in higher education, Higher Education (2024) 88:893–918, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10734-023-01148-z
The paper reviews the research on high-stakes final examinations, i.e. final exams that have a high weight in the course grade, and discusses their benefits and drawbacks, across seven different themes. While the conclusion lands on the critical side, we will take this as a starting point to discuss and nuance why and how we do final exams, what we intend them to achieve and how well they do that.
If you wish to have a sandwich, please send an e-mail to tur-teknat@uu.se at the latest March 6. Do not forget to include any dietary requirements.
Welcome,
