This news gives me hope. Assessment is important; I assess my courses and students constantly, but the assessment regimes imposed on faculty aren't helpful. We can do better. insidehighered.com/news/2019/04/1…
For writing, I'm a fan of looking at student artifacts collected organically and judged holistically, but I also think we can ask students about how they view their learning. @meaningfulWP is a good model for this. Do students think they've built their knowledge and skills?
Students can answer that question. They know when they're learning v. when they're performing learning simulations for a grade or to please a narrow rubric. If you ask them what they've learned, they can tell you.
