S ummary . 196 Teacher's Certificate students were assessed on their penultimate teaching practice by 67 supervising tutors. The students were divided into three comparable groups and were supervised by three comparable groups of paired tutors. After three‐and‐a‐half weeks each student was graded (A to E) by two tutors independently. Each group of tutors used one of three assessment methods: Analytic , involving reference to uniform criteria in the context of a graphic‐style rating scale; Profile , involving a rating scale with a less tightly organised procedure; and Global , in which tutors made no reference to uniformly agreed criteria. The results suggest that the Analytic method represents a clear improvement over the other two methods in a number of respects.
