💬 From 'access arrangements' to 'validity', the world of #assessment contains a lot of complex terminology and phrasing that can present a barrier to fully engaging with the topic. This is why our Cambridge Assessment Network team developed the 'Assessment 101 Glossary', which provides easy access to sound definitions and concepts that are regularly used in assessment discussion. 📝📝 'Double marking', where more than one examiner reaches a judgement about a submitted response to an assessment, is an example of one of those phrases. Sign up to receive a complimentary copy of the glossary and grow your understanding of assessment: https://cambrid.ge/3X4H9HX

Visit #Cambridge with our Charity Calendar 2025 📅📸✨ Every year, we create a charity calendar which is printed and sold to raise money for our chosen charity partner. For 2025, all proceeds will go to Book Aid International. To source photos for the calendar, we ran a public photography competition for the first time in 2024. Together with the wider University of Cambridge, we invited members of the public as well as colleagues, students and Cambridge alumni to send us their best photos of the city. The calendar features a combination of photos of less frequently visited places, or of less conventional perspectives of familiar sights, with classic shots that never lose their charm! The Cambridge Charity Calendar 2025 is available to purchase in-store or online from our Cambridge University Press Bookshop (UK shipping only). Learn more about the making of the calendar here: https://cambrid.ge/3LV01CS

Slop is often created to mimic human-made content for revenue or attention, but it rarely offers any real value. Should this word be added to the dictionary?
