New Batch of Responses to “An Insider’s Take on Assessment”

The Chronicle has published three more responses to “An Insider’s take on Assessment”.

I have only looked at them briefly, but none seem to challenge the notion that there is any evidence that assessment has had a positive effect on student learning or that the way that assessment is done produces useful data.  Rather there seems to be a lot of goalpost shifting that cites the importance of getting faculty to think about what their goals are.  In effect most of them are rehashing the arguments advanced by Joan Hawthorne back in 2015.  But more later.
