💡Some advice

Guarantee anonymity - Make sure the assessment system preserves student anonymity to encourage honest feedback.

Choose the right time - Carry out the assessment at a time when students have sufficient experience of the course, but before the exam period.

Explain the importance - Clearly communicate to students the importance of their feedback for course improvement.

Use a variety of questions - Include both closed (rating scales) and open-ended questions to get detailed feedback.

Act on results - Show students how their feedback has been taken into account to improve the course.

Encourage self-reflection - Use the results to reflect on your own teaching practices and professional development.

Contextualize results - Consider external factors that may influence evaluations (class size, course level, etc.).

⬜ S hare good practice - Use positive feedback to identify and share good teaching practice within the institution.

"It allows them to take a step back from their own work, to go deeper into the concepts of the course and see different methods for solving an exercise. It also gives them a better understanding of what's expected in an assignment and the objectives of the course".

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.
