Student evaluation is an important part of teaching as it allows the teacher to report the successes and challenges of the student and the parent. Evaluation also provides valuable feedback about how a student learns best. It is important that teachers use a variety of evaluation strategies to evaluate student progress. Additional information on evaluation of student achievement can be found in the Saskatchewan Education documents Student Evaluation: A Teacher Handbook, 1991 and Curriculum Evaluation in Saskatchewan, 1991.
It is important that the teacher discuss the evaluation strategies to be used in the course, when the evaluation can be expected to occur and the weighting of each evaluation strategy and how it relates to the overall student evaluation. The weighting of the evaluation should be determined in relation to the amount of time spent and emphasis placed on each area of the course as suggested in the curriculum guidelines.
The Electrical and Electronics Curriculum Guide10, 20, A30, B30 provides many opportunities for teachers to use a variety of instructional and evaluation strategies. Evaluation instruments used in the teaching of this course are included the Practical and Applied Arts Handbook. Sample copies of overall evaluation for the course, evaluation for general student skills and work study are included for teachers to adapt and use. Industry specific skills are reflected the training plans (Appendix B).
A sample evaluation scheme for this course appears below:| Portfolios | 10% |
| Written Tests | 10% |
| Practical Tests | 20% |
| Project Work | 30% |
| Assignments | 20% |
| Class Presentations or Work Study | 10% |

All sections of the starred modules must be completed thoroughly to meet the minimal theory requirements for students who will be taking the pure course and intend to challenge the Level 1 trade exam for the Electrician trade. Extensive practical assignments, that should include work study, will be necessary to ensure a successful challenge to the Level 1 apprenticeship examinations. See Appendix A, Determining an Apprenticeship Route, of this document for further details regarding preparation for apprenticeship. Refer to Appendix B: Training Plans for additional information regarding practical work experiences. In addition the modules DRAF31, from the Drafting and Computer-Assisted Design Curriculum guide, and CONS 03 and CONS 24, from the Construction and Carpentry Curriculum guide, are also required to complete Level 1 preparation.
