I consider this a farce, but U of W isn't a top tier college, so that's OK. It's a good college. They're really devaluing their regular degree by offering a test-based certification. The future of education isn't in testing. That's not education at all, really. The future is going to be in helping the student to develop a body of work that can be evaluated. There will be testing, but here's what it will be: every bit of work will be recorded, and evaluated. It'll mostly be evaluated by computer programs. Think about it. If you have a test with 150 questions, how is that really better than, say, 500 homework problems? If you have a few 500 word test essays, how is that better than, say, 5,000 words, with some stats about time taken, revisions, and other information about the body of work?
