Classroom Assessment: Continuing the Discussion

First, I would like to thank the Commentary writers for their thoughts and perspectives. Each of the Commentaries is an important piece in its own right, and I am both humbled and delighted to have four so thoughtful and experienced authors reacting to and enlarging upon the focus article. In this brief response, I will first give some brief background, then discuss some clarifications of points raised by the commentators. (Note, at many points, the Commentary writers make common remarks about both Focus articles, but I will, of course, only respond regarding my own.) After that I move on to a discussion of the commentator’s observations regarding the core themes of the paper, then follow that up with some notes on matters that were not commented upon, and finish with a brief conclusion.

首先，我要感谢评论文章的作者们提供的思考和观点。每一篇评论本身都是重要的作品，能有四位如此有思想且经验丰富的作者对焦点文章做出回应并加以拓展，我既感到谦卑又十分高兴。在这篇简短的回应中，我将首先给出一些简要的背景信息，然后针对评论者提出的观点进行一些澄清说明。（注意，在很多方面，评论文章的作者们对两篇焦点文章都有共同的评论，但我当然只会就我自己的文章做出回应。）之后，我会讨论评论者对论文核心主题的观察，接着就未被评论的事项做一些说明，最后给出一个简短的结论。
