This talk will present the evaluation and feedback methodologies of a hands-on end-semester exam, enhanced by technology like SRES for automated, tailored feedback. Previously, paper-based assessments were time-consuming for examiners. Now, formative mini-assessments develop feedback delivery skills, promote self-reflection, and offer student choice, which leads to an empowering final exam. Students choose partners for the final assessment, reflecting real-life teamwork and reducing stress. We encourage students to be responsible for their learning, boosting engagement. The talk will offer tips on student autonomy implementation and discuss the pros, cons, and best practices of using SRES technology.
