What are we assessing?

When we sit students down in rows, with no access to the devices that they not only usually have on them, but will have on them for the foreseeable future. 

When we get students to write their answers down on pieces of paper with pens as opposed to keyboards. 

When we give students questions based on things that they were taught from a couple of days before to possibly a year before and don't follow up with any other assessments. 

When the answers are so standardised that it can be reduced to a right answer in an answer key. 

When a team of teachers set said answer key with all the time in the world, as opposed to the students who have to do it in a single sitting. 

When sometimes, it's the WAY the answer is written rather than the content of the answer.
