The perfect storm: AI, assessment and a sector under pressure

Summary

QAA examines the gap between institutional AI policies and students’ day-to-day assessment experience.

Evidence includes 26 students, 74 staff and analysis of 173 review reports. Inconsistent implementation emerges as a central concern.

Recommendations emphasise substantive training, student participation and intelligible explanations of legitimate disciplinary differences.

Self-selected participants; no explicitly anti-GenAI staff participated. Not a nationally representative survey.
