Getting it right: on-line formative assessment of numeracy skills
![Page 2: Dr Amanda Cain, Ms Charmian Dawson and Professor Elizabeth Shephard Structural and Molecular Biology University College London Getting it right: on-line.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5516152f550346a2308b54ca/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Aims of the project
• To assess the underlying numerical abilities of students within our second year course
• To improve these skills• To support development of ability and confidence
in solving numerical problems

Advantages of on-line support resources
• Used at anytime and repeatedly• Regular practice of numerical concepts • No fear of embarrassment• Immediate results/feedback• Helps us to identify areas of weakness which
require additional support
