Thanks for the effort there. I’m disappointed this post didn’t get more attention, but I suppose you’re right, it’s a bucket in a flood. I know people in academia who are pushing for a return to older-school forms of assessment, particularly in-person written and oral exams. These don’t scale as well as newer assessment types, and maybe that’s appropriate. There’s plenty of clear evidence that only an “elite” education carries meaningful odds of getting into top positions in the private and public sectors. Even a “good” education is basically a self-selected exceptionalist longshot.
