Very cool concept, but doesn't the institution still require you to evaluate students in the end?

  I gathered from the article that basically the state of the work at the end of the semester (or whatever) is what will be graded, so students can submit work, get feedback, revise, etc. I think I like that. The notion that education is purely transactional - put kids through school, pay X dollars, get educated kids - is not how things really work. With this method, no one can say the kid didn't have a chance to turn in his/her best work possible.

    Won’t students end up with the same grade for significantly different levels of understanding? Wouldn’t that affect their future coursework? How would a ‘behind’ student be incentivized to catch up?

    I understand that, but the reason that you get grades on assignments throughout the semester is so that you can get an understanding of where your level is and how you should expect to be evaluated at the end. If you get a bunch of subjective feedback throughout the semester, but no grades, then you seemingly have no idea what to expect when you receive your final grade.
