Some questions on assessment of writing:
I was confused that Routman was very much against using rubrics to assess writing through our assessment course I thought that rubrics were a valuable evaluation tool. How can you ensure you are not objective when you are assessing?
Routman also talks about not teaching to the test, yet test preparation is important, how much is enough? Where do you draw the line?
Jill- could you show us an example of assessing a piece of writing, or a writing portfolio?
