💡 Quelques conseils

Provide clear coding standards - Make sure students understand the standards and best practices expected for code.

Use code analysis tools - Employ automated tools for static analysis and performance evaluation of code.

Encourage peer code review - Set up regular code review sessions to foster collaborative learning.

Promote documentation - Emphasize the importance of clear, useful documentation for all submitted projects.

Offer hands-on workshops - Hold workshops to work on code examples and receive immediate feedback.

Facilitate open discussions - As soon as the evaluation is done, plan discussions to analyze the code's strengths and areas for improvement.

Incorporate revisions - Allow students to submit a revised version of their code after initial feedback.

Include professionals - Invite experienced developers to give additional feedback and share industry developments in their feedback.

Answers to your questions

How can I be sure that the assessments are fair and objective?

ChallengeMe offers clear and precise evaluation criteria that you can customize. What's more, the anonymity of assessments and the possibility of having several assessors per job help ensure fairness.

We also recommend preparing the students, explaining the objectives, and even co-constructing the criterion grid with them, taking examples from previous work.

Absolutely, group work is possible, both in the response phase (submitting a file as a group, for example) and in the evaluation phase (students must agree on feedback and evaluations).

We have a wide range of content available. On the platform, students are guided through the activity with tips for giving relevant feedback. We also provide teachers with documents they can use to present the activity to students.

The choice is yours! You can set up a formative system only (no grades, only feedback), or build a grade with weighting on criteria, bonuses/maluses according to certain events (lateness, for example), or even weight the peer assessment grade with the teacher's grade.

We work with over 90 schools in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Quebec. On our website, you'll find feedback from other schools on our activities.
