Abstract
The ability to handle assessment is integral to success in higher education and therefore needs to be central to any foundation programme. The results of a survey of assessment tasks undertaken by students in higher education at the one university are presented. Considerable differences in the type and range of assessment tasks used across levels and disciplines were found. This variety uncovered contrasts with the relatively narrow range of tasks used in most text-books. It is argued that foundation programmes must broaden their horizons and more use be made of subject-specific material when preparing students for assessment.
