Hi All,
There is an interesting article in the Nov-Dec 2001 issue of Assessment
Update about norm referenced and criterion referenced assessment. The
author, John Biggs, makes several arguments against using norm referenced
assessment.
If anyone has read it I'd like to hear your comments.

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies
to trying to prove the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly
succeed and are right.
