Abstract

This article considers assessment practices in the field of higher education mathematics courses. It argues that, in the potentially deleterious context of summative assessments, it is possible to re-craft the demands on students to incorporate some opportunities for educative assessment. Evidence, in the form of stories of students' experiences, is offered to suggest that such practices have a contribution to make to widening participation and to the equity agenda.
