Description
This is the first book to focus on a taken-for-granted but taboo aspect of an examiner's role: assigning a fail grade. The guide is intended to help academic and work-based assessors make good judgements. It explains the reasons why failing is so difficult, looking at the individual, institutional and contextual factors involved and paying particular attention to the feelings of anxiety and guilt that interfere with decision making.
