In 2023 I developed a synchronous and asynchronous learning activity designed to help students develop their evaluative judgement skills. This allow them to judge the quality of their own own and that of their peers, a very authentic skills required in all workplaces. Within education this skill also enable students to decipher the marking rubrics, assessment expectations, and therefore produce work that meets the expected quality of the work required within their assessments.

This initiative has been taken up by other institutions in particular the University of Auckland (Cardiac Ultrasound Program) and they have provide feedback about it below.

"I met with Dr. Anand to discuss his viewpoint of incorporating evaluative judgement practice into my tertiary teaching. The conversation was incredibly helpful, and I walked away energised to implement his strategy into my course. It surprised me that despite our very different fields, we both had noticed a similar void within our students. Dr. Anand was one step ahead of me and had developed a cyclical plan in which he was able to capture his students and engage them, using this strategy, that fostered the students' own self reflection. I will be implementing his technique into my teaching this year."
