What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of a holistic assessment for writing?-CINDY

2022-12-27 04:43:27 UTC

Holistic assessment can shorten the assessment time and promote fairness in the assessment process. For example, teachers can evaluate students' tasks in a shorter time after a browse. The disadvantage of holistic assessment is that it does not give students targeted feedback, which means they are unlikely to learn much from the assignment. For example, teachers are unable to evaluate students on every point, which is bad for students to know their major mistakes.

Task (Divya)

2022-12-27 04:44:04 UTC

Holistic approach

*Advantages
- Teachers have a concrete method on analyzing content based on the given criteria.

*Disadvantages
- Students might feel demotivated after seeing the hierarchy because it might just be a subtle difference between proficient and exemplary.
- Students aren't given one on one specific feedback.
