I’ve seen lots of articles arguing for this. I hate it. And just imagine what Texas’ legislature could dream up if they worked more than four months every two years! (I think the US Congress might benefit from such a system.)
But Confessions of a College Dean has a greart article on this and why it is useless.
Let’s think:
Community colleges, like mine, won’t have to test.
Flagship schools, like UT, will do well regardless.
There are many articulate arguments at Confessions. Go read them.
