In addition to the types of assessment mentioned in the lesson, our institution sends an assessment to the student's supervisor approximately six months after the student graduates. The intent of this assessment is to ensure that the student has mastered the material and, even more importantly, to ensure that the course itself supports the student's organization's objectives. The student's organization expends resources (time, money, and effort) by sending the student to the course; our institution wants to ensure those resources are well spent.
