Good Practice in Assessment of Mathematics, Statistics and OR
(Started: Sep 2002, Completed: Autumn 2004)
Project Leader: Neil Challis (Sheffield Hallam University)

Project Summary
This project aimed to support good practice in assessment in mathematics, statistics and operational research (MSOR). It attempted to do this by taking the booklets of the LTSN Generic Centre Assessment Series, and representing the ideas published in these in the context of MSOR by the creation of a corresponding set of subject specific booklets for widespread distribution in the academic community.
