摘要:“CEAB 2014” affects student assessment methods. There is a risk of an increased workload, as assessing for grading in a course and for the possession of attributes are “distinct matters”. Here is a rationale for assessment of learning outcomes, with an overview of methods and issues to consider when designing and using assessment of attributes in relation to CEAB’s accreditation criteria. To increase their performance, students need ‘educative assessments’, anchored in authentic tasks and with feedback usable to improve performance. At École Polytechnique de Montréal, a committee studies this issue, in both project modules and internships. The initiative aims to give students a more active role, engaging them in deep experiential learning. It faces the challenge to recommend effective and reliable assessment methods for student grading, also meeting the new requirements of CEAB with current resources. Association with other Canadian institutions is sought to continue the discussion.
