Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Arthur ... The idea of setting standards is to set them to what they should be. If you set them after you see the results, you are setting them to the results, not to the standard. At least that's the idea. Should their be some iteration in the process? Probably. Art >>> arthur@softwarerevolution.com 01/10/03 11:40AM >>> For WASL, those who set the cut scores 1. are NOT told what % of students got the right answer 2. are NOT given the opportunity to even check if the question is is even aligned with the standards or specifications 3. the pass point is set AFTER the students take the pilot test 4. when the % of students who passed was too high, the testing company was told to rescore everybody anyway until at least 50% of students were declared below standard.
