Some+Possible+Common+Assessments

In a course that offers teachers significant choice and independence in terms of text selection, we will unify student and faculty experience through the development of one common writing assessment. We will design this assessment so that it allows students the opportunity to demonstrate understanding in the following areas:


 * Understanding of literature as a dynamic series of perspectives, visons and subsequent revisons of the human story.
 * Understanding of revison as a means to question and further the perspectives of the past.
 * Understanding of the ways in which linguistic, aesthetic, and/or historical aspects of English literary tradition are enriched through juxtaposition with contemporary revisions of these traditions.
