- Being able to communicate thoughts and ideas in writing is a fundamental basic skill that is valuable throughout life. From leaving notes for family members, to writing term papers and theses, writing skills are fundamental. Assessment of writing or written expression skills is typically viewed as something that is complex, time- consuming and subjective. All three of these assessment characteristics are problematic for frequent progress monitoring, which, by its nature, needs to be as simple as possible, time-efficient, and objective.
