This document summarizes a project exploring democratic assessment design at the University of Sheffield. It describes workshops held with students and staff to redesign an assessment approach. The outcome was a new assessment structure applying four theoretical operations: demystification, deconstruction, queering, and decolonization. Assessments included learning journals, student-led seminars, and a research essay. Reflections questioned what radical pedagogy means within neo-liberal institutions, how modules could be democratically designed, what the project would look like in other subjects, and whether assessment can truly be reformed or will always involve violence.
