This study focused on the transition from school to university and developing an understanding of students' perceptions of assessment and feedback at university. Year 12 and 13 schoolchildren (lower and upper sixth form) from 70 schools across Great Britain were questioned about how their school work was assessed and the type of feedback they were given. They were also questioned about how they thought this might change once they reached university. This information was fed into an intervention presentation that was given to first-year undergraduates at four universities. This highlighted the differences between assessment and feedback at school and at university. A comparison of the perceptions of undergraduate and staff attitudes to feedback was made. This led to a series of recommendations being made to enhance the assessment and feedback process.
