Summary/Abstract: All the numerous researches conducted on evaluation (whether it's about evaluating trainingactivities, projects, manuals, or issues are investigated relating to evaluation of the knowledge/ skillsacquired by students) underscore the need for a more objective assessment. Theoretical and practicalattempts in this direction are numerous, but ultimately seem to lead to a failure: achieving objectivityseems to be a chimera, an impossible dream. The idea that we would like to develop in the present studyis that although subjectivity is necessarily present in all evaluative stages, evaluator teachers must beaware of the pitfalls of this subjectivity, so that they can build the necessary instruments to keep thesubjective factor under control.
