There's a large section on assessing student work in our Case Studies brochure: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Case_Studies
Any instructors who have found additional methods of assessing student work they'd like to share with other instructors are encouraged to create a Case Study for their own work -- just follow the instructions on that page.

Hi LiAnna,
Has anyone published a set of actual Education Program student evaluation criteria and evaluations with which we could try the process described in http://www.pareonline.net/pdf/v17n4.pdf to get some idea of its suitability? Perhaps there are some existing criteria and evaluations that teachers or ambassadors have which could be quickly anonymized if they aren't already published?
Developing a short robust evaluation criteria seems to be what the Education Program needs most, based on the discussions of problems and community friction. I thought that there were already some evaluation criteria published from a few years back, but I can't find them. The Factor Analysis routine mentioned in that PARE paper is the same as R's factanal() function.
If this can't be published for volunteers to try, can you try it internally?
Best regards, James Salsman
