The current trend of hands-on postsecondary institutions is moving away from traditional laboratory and test methods to project and team-based assessments. The geomatics engineering technology program uses project-based learning to simulate industry experiences in a field and office team dynamic, but implementing authentic assessment within a team has been challenging. The student progresses through the program by completing a series of projects, from short field tasks to more complex, higher-stakes projects that use varying sizes of teams. Developing authentic assessments that provide evidence of independent effort and learning is challenging without adding to the instructor's workload burden. Various techniques have been explored to encourage team skill building with independent authentic assessments including field notes, field tests, formative classwork, written group exams, and creative half-semester projects. Challenges and successes will be discussed from an instructor's perspective based on personal observation and informal feedback from students, such as preparing a student for unconventional assessments, ways to properly grade the individual, recognizing at-risk students, student retention rates, and instructor workloads. Some of these have been overcome by adjusting assessments and group members, with results showing reduced workloads, improved student attitudes, and more room to include authentic assessments.
