In Small-Scale Assessment Makes the Grade doet Tod Farley uit de doeken wat er allemaal niet deugt aan de beoordeling van de prestaties van studenten op grond van een gestandaardiseerde test en met name de industrie die daarachter zit.
Farley is de auteur van het onlangs verschenen Making the Grades: My Misadventures in the Standardized Testing Industry. Hier een review van het boek uit de Washington Post.

Inspanningsverplichting voor studenten
Angela Maiers bericht over een inspanningsverplichting voor studenten in A Passion-Driven Teacher-Student Agreement.
Stephen Downes is hier terecht heel duidelijk over:
"Something counts as an "agreement" only if either party could change the wording or refuse to sign. Similarly, a "contract" requires free and willing consent from both sides. This eliminates from consideration pretty much everything called a student 'agreement' or 'contract' in education. If the students cannot refuse to sign (and let's face it, they can't) then it's a sham. Now maybe such agreements 'work' on some students (they certainly wouldn't work on me, as I don't ever feel obligated to honour an agreement extracted through coercion). But they are misrepresentative, and in my view, for that reason, they should not be used".
