Day 2: Up to Speed with Self-Assessment
The general objective is to enable participants to develop competencies as self-evaluators and peer-reviewers.this is done in form of a workshop/ atelier like organizations. participants work in teams of 2/ 3 persons. this is necessary so that they have the need to discuss their judgements amongst themselves and thus develop a "rethoric" for the open ECBCheck evaluation, and have to plausibly argue about the course evaluation. The self-assessment should be done in an alternating "team work" vs. "sharing results between teams" way. in that way, it is made sure that the self-assessment is checked against the results of others after each section.
