Measurement tools outdated

I suggest there are 2 big problems with tests of general skills such as the collegiate learning assessment.

First, as MacGillivray writes, students are interested in learning and academics are committed to teaching skills specific to a profession: students are not interested in learning and academics aren’t interested in teaching general skills.

Secondly, the collegiate learning assessment, the university experience survey and the course experience questionnaire don’t distinguish between two thirds of institutions by an amount that is bigger than the instrument’s margin of error. These instruments are therefore useless for allocating performance funding and for informing most students’ choice of institution.
