ED-4820-5 L’évaluation en salle de classe

This course examines the complexity of assessment by contrasting assessment theories with common practices in the classroom. Students explore the concept of a balanced assessment program that integrates formative and summative assessment practices. Students develop skills in creating a variety of assessment instruments (e.g., observation check-lists, tests, rubrics, portfolios). Issues and practices of large-scale assessment are also explored.

This course is offered on campus in French to students in our Bachelor of Education program (français langue seconde) program, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30 am to 11:15 am, July 6 to August 6, 2026.
