The CCK08 round up was an interesting meeting. It seems like it was held at a difficult time for some and clashed with their teaching commitments, so a few familiar faces were not present.
There was quite a lot of talk about assessment. I think it will be worth listening to the recording again to capture [...]

So here are my notes and some questions:
