How It Works

In the science program taught at the Community Learning Centre in Inuvik, the learners are given the opportunity to do an oral assessment showing that they know the material covered in the science program. For example, they did a unit on wildlife trapping and learned about the various traps and how to set them. When it came time to do the evaluation, an oral test was given and the learners had to provide the instructor with the answers.
