Hi Barry! This is a very interesting approach! The research assignment has an expected, definitive outcome in its own right, but the process itself in writing it yields information about a learner's cognitive, language, and critical thinking abilities. Could you tell us a bit more about the reserach assignment? Is it discipline specific? Does it involve investigation and interpretation on the student's part, or is it more of a survey or summary of information? Does the student choose the subject?
Thanks!!
