Another great chapter. I like the technique for critical thinking; reviewing and informally assessing students then changing one part of the context to foster student discussion. i also appreciated the focus on assessing outcomes rather than objectives. The action verb used in the outcome generally reveals the type of assessment that would directly measure student learning. If the verb is describe, a research paper is a good choice. If the verb is demonstrate or apply, a practical assessment or a project is a good choice. This chapter had me thinking about ways to provide the basic requirements of a project for students that are attempting to "short circuit" the learning, but also provide additional resources that engage students in creative thought that encourages them to go beyond the basics.
