What is evaluation for?
Graduation is not a gift we give our trainees. It's something they earn themselves according to objective, published, measurable criteria.
What are our purposes in assessment?
Resource allocation: who needs help and what with
Quality control: are we teaching well and the right thing
Fairness: objective published criteria means everyone knows what is expected
Flexibility: defining exit criteria per module will make it possible for us to modularise the course and allow retakes
Specialisation: who could flourish by taking a specialised path
What are not our purposes?
Exclusion
Passing or failing people
Our module is a product. Our trainees are its tests.
