FAA Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI)Assessment and CritiqueEasy
After a flight lesson, an instructor records detailed comments about the student's performance directly on the training record, creating a permanent, referenceable summary that both instructor and student can review later. This is an example of...
- AFormative assessment
- BOral critique
- CSelf-critique
- DWritten critique
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Written critique
A written critique documents feedback in a permanent record, allowing later review by both the student and instructor, unlike an oral critique which is spoken and not automatically preserved. This provides continuity across lessons and a clear performance history.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Formative assessment refers to ongoing progress checks, not the format of feedback delivery.
- B. Oral critique is spoken feedback, not a written record.
- C. Self-critique involves the student's own evaluation, not the instructor's written notes.
Written Critique
A critique method in which the instructor documents feedback in writing, creating a permanent record for later reference.
- Provides continuity across multiple lessons
- Useful for tracking progress over time
- Complements oral critique but is not spoken feedback
