ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses specifically on teaching and assessment techniques that ease pressures. Whilst the main benefits are for tutors, there are positive aspects that have consequences for students by reducing pressures within assignments and easing feelings of anxiety that surround them. In addition, the chapter deals with some issues relating to group dynamics and climate that affect students. As stated earlier, the milieu for learning has a crucial impact on the quality of that learning experience and on students’ progress.
