Evaluation

The evaluation process to assess the progress of student's work is structured into

• a local evaluation by the local instructor
• a global evaluation by the global team

Local evaluation

Local Instructors should be evaluating students' work periodically throughout the course. A bi-weekly review is good, a weekly review with the student is ideal.

Instructors must review each student’s work according to the documentation provided by the student, NOT what was observed in the lab.

Instructors should discuss incomplete work / documentation with a student on an ongoing basis.

Global evaluation

Global Evaluators are assigned during the cycle to double check the application to the Assessment standards and provide a general overview of the process.

Instructors are responsible for the evaluation of students while Global Evaluators keep an eye on the general progress, and step in in specific cases that require so.

Evaluation tools

The evaluation process is documented in the Academany Evaluation App: http://nueval.fabacademy.org/

There, Students, Instructors and Global Evaluators have a profile and are able to log in to comment and review comments regarding the evaluation process.

The App is the tool for what is called “continuous evaluation” in which there is a constant stream of assignments being evaluated and passed, by both Instructors and Global evaluators, to have a continuously updated picture of student’s status during the cycle. In addition, students receive continuous reviews that allow informed decisions along the cycle.
