“Rob Creasy offers an insightful analysis of how notions of wicked education can be utilised to promote assessment practices that foster originality and creativity.In doing so he presents an analysis that has the potential to move us beyond the tame neo-liberalist educational discourses that presently dominant many education systems. Indeed, he shines a light on how wicked assessment can be employed to challenge this situation. The Taming of Education is an important educational text that will be informative for scholars, policy makers and educational practitioners.” (Paul H Smith, Associate Head of School, Quality Enhancement and Student Experience, Leeds Trinity University, UK)
