CFI Fundamentals of Instructing 3: Assessment and Critique: Grading That Builds Judgment

Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) part of CFI ground school — episode 3: Assessment and Critique: Grading That Builds Judgment. After every flight a learner wants to know one thing: how did I do? The instructor's answer can build judgment or quietly destroy confidence. This episode covers assessment the way the instructor's handbook frames it: the kinds of assessment and when to use them, what makes an assessment effective, how to write a fair test, the learner-centered debrief and its grading scales, choosing a method, critiques and questioning, and how to judge piloting ability in the airplane.
