Ways of periodic assessment of students in the Descriptive Geometry discipline

Abstract

Evaluation is the process of examining and assessing the knowledge acquired by the student during a period of study. The quality assurance of the evaluation is determined by the quality of the evaluation tools used to assess the respective qualification, as well as the efficiency and comprehensibility of the supporting materials. The curriculum of the Descriptive Geometry discipline provides for two periodic evaluations and a final one, the purpose of which is to check the practical skills and competences obtained by students in the study process. Periodic evaluations take place on the 8th and 14th week of the semester, and individual work is assessed as the result of the diligence demonstrated by the student in the process of completing individual work. In order to carry out periodic evaluations, a series of tests have been developed that include topics from the studied material, are concise and can be easily applied on electronic learning platforms. Each answer has the sequence number of the question and is extremely concise, containing 1-3 letters or digits. The complexity of the questions is medium and the structure of the tests is analogical, ensuring all students a level playing field. For each correct answer the student is given two points. The total duration of the test does not exceed 15 minutes. Thus, the validity and credibility of periodic evaluations do not raise any doubts.
