It
made me laugh a little in the Assessment article when he's talking
about the advice given to him in grad school about getting students
to write a lot to make them learn. In some ways, this is what Boice
seemed to be suggesting through the use of all the outlines and
note-taking and drafts that are supposed to foster students
imaginations.
I
do wonder what are effective ways of getting students to do the
self-assessment he's arguing for. I'm wondering if anyone else had
any other ideas? I think that the reflective paper is one suggestion
that might work. I get the impression that Inoue is wanting students
to be directly involved with deciding the grading rubrics and I'm
also wondering how others felt about that? I feel like that could be
problematic.
I
did think it interesting that Inoue has weekly self-reflective
assignments for the class that go over the previous week's
activities. I do disagree with how Inoue then comments on them and
brings them in to class to “discuss or simply appreciate” (this
struck the wrong cord with me. Are they appreciating the reflective
essay, the prompt, the activities Inoue gave them?). Anyone have any thoughts?
