The document discusses evaluating student performance in training programs. It describes both external evaluation, where instructors evaluate students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes through tests and other assessments, and student self-evaluation, where students assess their own learning and progress. For self-evaluation, the document explains that students self-assess, self-correct, reflect on, and direct their own learning. It provides suggestions for course design elements that can support student self-evaluation, such as pre- and post-course assessments, practice problems with feedback, and opportunities for student reflection and feedback.
