I'll try to articulate some of these:
1) what do accreditors make of this approach (In particular secondary accreditors) ? Or what do those completing accreditation reports make of this approach? Feedback yes, but 'rigor' / quality?
2) you mention that students self-declare when they've done the work and that forms the basis of their (required) grade. Do you feel any responsibility to verify that grade statement (or how do you respond if the grade statement and feedback you're giving seem out of sync)?
