Auxin – Assessing professional behaviours

Auxin Workshop held on 28 February 2012 at CTL

Assessment of Professionalism as Graduate Attribute

Professionalism is no doubt an attribute that you would say you would like your students to leave university with. Do you, however, actually assess professionalism in your students? This can be a tricky business!  At this first “Padkos” session of the Auxin Project for 2012, a brief overview of the challenges posed by the assessment of professionalism, was given. Results of recent research at Stellenbosch about this was shared and there was the opportunity to discuss how one might meet these challenges.
