When I went back to college after 28 years I took a grad course in something like Educational Measurement and Evaluation.

I developed a theory to have each student submit a short writing sample on a given subject at the beginning of a course or year and have them repeat the assignment at the end. This might help assess a student's real progress.

It would certainly help. It would be interesting to get student eyes on their before and after, too.

Actually I compiled it from reading research.
