The Myth of Measurable Improvement.
Harmon, John
English Journal, v77 n5 p78-80 Sep 1988
Advises teachers not to evaluate students on day-to-day growth, but instead to allow for measurable growth, evaluating them after a suitable period of time has elapsed. Assumes that true growth in writing occurs slowly, that it is seldom linear, and that distinctions between disparate texts remain spurious. (MS)
