Two years into the implementation of McGill’s Policy on the Assessment of Student Learning (PASL), we invite instructors to join a session focused on shared reflection and practical insight. Featuring instructor and student perspectives, the session will highlight practices that have made assessment more effective, fair, or meaningful under PASL. We aim to foster constructive dialogue and shared understanding as we continue to raise awareness about the policy and look forward in an ever-evolving assessment landscape.
