Final Assessment and Evaluation

8. Initial Interaction, Success Plan
Assessment should be student oriented so that it enhances learner’s ability to self-evaluate, plan and correct the learning process
Assessment should also be positive in its effect e.g. it should give a student a positive feedback information, even if the assessment result might be a negative mark
A student should be able to plan his/her success in the corresponding subject; whishes are welcome but the goals should be realistically based on the learning results planned

9. Time Management The goals are:
transparancy: the dates of the exams(3) and the essays (3) are known well ahead
oral assessment is planned and announced on time
the student plans the assessment date together with the teacher
Oral assessment consists of 3x individual conversation, 3x presentation skills (individual or group work)

10. Evaluation, Self-Evaluation
The criteria has to be as transparent and available as much as possible to avoid the grey zone
After the assessment the teacher and the student discuss the assessment result
The student gives his/her feedback on the assessment but also on the learning efforts undertaken

11. Follow Up Measures
Upon the assessment the teacher gives directions for further learning plan
The student resets the goals in order to improve his learning progress (internal motivation)
There has to be a positive atmosphere in the oral assessment procedure ( negative emotions strongly interfere with the speaking skills)
Encouragement for the better succes is given by the teacher (external motivation)

12. Final Assessment Round up of the learning results
