more worthless advice from the Chronicle

Today's words of wisdom: "'"Professors need to go beyond just writing better feedback and meeting more frequently with students, [Stephanie] Pitts says. If professors truly want to empower their students to be 'critical learners,' she writes, then they need to develop their students' ability to evaluate their own work, increase the effectiveness of the drafting process, and make assessment criteria 'more accessible and transparent.'"

Well, duh. What else is new? Now, if these advice-givers could just follow their own advice and make this process more transparent for those of us who really do give a hoot?
