Student's reflections

I was using social media and I found a friend’s post and the comments about it. Immediately it attracts my attention with regard to the discussion about evaluation. I think this post glimpses students are aware that they are being evaluated, so, in what we fail?

Finding this question I see an educational institution and a government with the need to evaluate the education of hundreds and thousands students, then they use a score system. Does the teacher have all the weight of the evaluation? Given the circumstances I would say yes.

Weigle (2002) talks about writing evaluation, she explains the pothole there is when writing is evaluated in a test, even in texts with short time of realization, and present the portfolio assessment which is an evidence of the writing process and the progress in it; also allows the student to reflect and return to his/her owns texts in many times, evidencing more accurately the student's writing process, and at the same time providing permanent support for progress in the writing process.

What do you think? Does time play an important role in a more objective and clear assessment? How can we work on this?
