Feedback from previous assessment training
Even though I came to the course blindfolded, I always became enlightened!
I have gained a lot of useful information and had to think about some things in a new way. It was nice that we had the opportunity to exchange opinions and get comments from experienced teachers. All of this helps me in my everyday work, in planning future courses and in preparing course materials.
