Graduate attribute, employability, group working, peer assessmentAbstract
Leeds Beckett University identified three interlinking graduate attributes which, during a curriculum redesign, were embedded into every course at all levels. This paper describes how a final year module was designed to develop enterprise and employability skills. The students worked in self-selected small groups to devise a new biotechnology product or social enterprise scheme. The assessment comprised a group presentation (which was peer reviewed), an individual report and a written reflection of the process.
