Decisions about students’ success or failure in their courses inevitably rely on the judgements of examiners and assessors. Is this a situation which people accept, or is a general questioning of professional judgement beginning to undermine the exam system? Have the awarding bodies made any impact on public perceptions by their greater transparency and by aligning their practices and procedures to public regulation? Should this agenda include more discussion of the meaning of the term ‘measurement error’ or will that term be unhelpfully misunderstood? And are there more ways in which awarding bodies could work with their stakeholders to increase public trust in the judgments made by examiners and assessors?

This talk is part of the Assessment Principles series.
