cord-024381-ckkzu57a	Zwolski, Kamil	Assessing international relations in undergraduate education	2020-05-06		.txt	text/plain	6423	294	43	This paper advocates a holistic approach to assessing international relations in undergraduate education, which revolves around: (a) essays and (b) active learning-related tasks, such as simulation reflective statements/reports and performance. In the second section, the paper discusses the proposed holistic approach to designing assessment, which involves building on one's own experience, catching up with the pedagogical scholarship and working together with students in order to obtain a better understanding of the local learning culture. Based on the combination of practical experience, insights from pedagogical literature and student engagement, I argue in the following section that essays should constitute the bedrock of assessing IR in undergraduate education. One helpful way to distinguish between the value of essays for assessing IR from methods related to active learning is to recognise that they emphasise two different kinds of knowledge: declarative and functioning.	./cache/cord-024381-ckkzu57a.txt	./txt/cord-024381-ckkzu57a.txt
