Student assessment literacy, and staff assessment practices can be enhanced through constructive dialogue, designed to help build better shared understandings, and in which both students and staff can meaningfully contribute. Such a dialogue has great potential to increase student engagement with their own learning. Focusing on a UK university law school's staff-student partnership initiative called Getting It Right: Assessment and Feedback in Translation (GRAFT) and aimed at improving assessment feedback practices, this paper demonstrates how students and staff working as partners in this context can make a major contribution to assessment literacy and student engagement.

Brice Erickson’s the Historical Greek Village is an excellent new addition to the Lerna series and significantly furthers our understanding of the nature and character of the site from circa 970 to 175 BC. Volume VIII in the series follows contributions that detail the fauna, people and prehistoric pottery and architecture of Lerna. Ericson’s Historical Village not only presents an important and rich corpus of material, it also attempts to interpret the available archaeological data to reconstruct the nature and character of the site and its place within the wider Argolid. In this the books succeeds marvellously and Ericson’s work significantly furthers our understanding of village life and culture in Geometric – Hellenistic times.
