Group Assessments

Bryanna

Hi all,

For the first time ever, I am putting together an assessment day for our student placement schemes.

We will be recruiting undergraduates into our Aerodynamics department and I am seeking some inspiration of how to create a relevant group assessment that achieves all desired outcomes and observations. 

If you know of any relevant websites or literature I would be most grateful!

They will also take part in technical interviews, competency interviews and complete a technical assessment on the day.

Thank you


Bryanna

    Hey Bryanna

    I think differing personalities may be a difficult one to observe and therefore score against. I think David does raise a good point. When I've ran these in the past, we would define what competencies we were looking for (based on the roles) ahead of time and then we would ensure that every activity over the two days covered these competencies (ensuring each competency was covered at least twice). Given that I assume you look at their overall scores as part of the debrief and this forms a big part of your decision-making, I'd say this should be your first area to focus on and then it will be easier to choose the right group activity for you.
