The assignment is to discuss your class assignment in terms of the basic models of the evidence-centered assessment design framework. You should describe your assessment; the purpose and psychological perspective from which it was created; the student, evidence model(s), and task model(s); and how these models embody an assessment argument. The short papers you have been writing throughout the semester will be excellent starting points for this assignment.

Optional features, if they are useful or important to you telling your story: Toulmin diagram for the assessment argument, operational features from the perspective of the four-porcess delivery system.

As with the short papers, exactly how this assignment will play out with your assessment will vary from one student to another, depending on how these issues were handled by its designers. If certain issues that are important to our view of assessment design were not addressed, describe a reasonable way to fill in those gaps. If there were no task models provided, describe one or two plausible ones that might be induced from one or more actual tasks, as you did in Assignment 5. If there are particularly interesting issues in your assessment, discuss them and how they relate to the assessment argument. For some examples, aspects of the delivery system may be of interest to note.

Your paper should be 15-25 pages long, including any figures, tables, and examples you may have.
