The 8C Appraisal Framework
The world's first learner appraisal framework, developed by Intern Stump. Each pillar evaluates a core competency, and together they determine your overall performance in a course.
Communication
Verbal & Written ArticulationAbility to express ideas clearly and effectively through verbal and written communication.
Configuration
System & Tools ManagementSkills in setting up, organizing, planning and managing systems and tools effectively.
Completeness
Task Execution & ThoroughnessThoroughness in executing tasks and ensuring all requirements are met - starting with a complete profile.
Cognizance
Contextual AwarenessAwareness and understanding of the broader context and implications of decisions.
Conception
Innovation & SolutionsAbility to develop innovative ideas and creative solutions to real-time problems.
Comprehension
Deep Understanding & ApplicationDeep understanding of concepts, principles, and their practical applications.
Chronicle
Documentation & RecordsMaintaining accurate records of work and consistent participation - your attendance chronicle.
Case Study
Real-World Problem-SolvingCritical evaluation and problem-solving skills assessed through real-world case studies.
Proof of work, not just attendance
-
1
Every C is scored from 0 to 5
Scores come from your own progress in the course (projects, assignments, quizzes, attendance, profile) and from ratings given by your Subject Matter Expert (communication and case study).
-
2
Each C must be met
A C is met when its requirement is fulfilled - for example at least 2 approved projects for Configuration, or attendance above 70% (or an approved waiver) for Chronicle.
-
3
Your overall score is the average
All eight Cs carry equal weight (12.5% each). The average out of 5 is turned into a percentage and a grade.
-
4
Track it live in your course
Your learning dashboard shows every C, what is still missing and your current score, so you always know what to work on next.
Grades
Claiming the report before all classes are completed counts the Communication rating at half value, so most learners claim it at the end of the course.
