examinatrice

An examinatrice is a female examiner. The term is derived from the French word "examiner," meaning to inspect or test. In various contexts, an examinatrice is a woman who presides over an examination, assesses performance, or evaluates candidates. This role can be found in academic settings, such as universities or schools, where she might grade papers, conduct oral exams, or supervise practical assessments.

Beyond academia, an examinatrice can be involved in professional certifications, driving tests, or any situation requiring a formal evaluation by a woman. Her responsibilities typically include ensuring the integrity of the examination process, objectively measuring a candidate's knowledge or skills against established criteria, and providing a fair assessment. The specific duties and authority of an examinatrice can vary significantly depending on the field and the nature of the examination. The masculine form of the word is "examinateur."
