    Grading frequently measures compliance, and students frequently use unproductive and even damaging strategies (from brute memorization of material at the expense of understand to flat-out plagiarism) when chasing grades. It’s telling that one of the first things I learned when doing program assessment (at the university level) is that you can’t assess students’ mastery of specific learning outcomes by using students’ grades. I still use grades—in fact, I’m notoriously the hardest grader in the department—but I struggle against it. If I was earlier in my career and could devote the hours necessary to redesign most of my courses, I’d probably change to specification grading.

    I seriously doubt Watterson wrote this. He’s never sickeningly maudlin.
