N2 - There are plenty of claims to the power of formative assessment, yet formativeassessment is rarely used to fullest advantage in UK higher education. Causes of thisweakness can be discerned in curricular structures and pedagogy, and their effect ismagnified as the pressures increase on the sector to enhance student employabilityand to make 'efficiency gains'. The argument of this paper is that a realisation of thefull potential of formative assessment will require substantial attention to bothcurricular structure and pedagogy.
