Del: I have watched you over the years say over and over again, "This isn't beta tested." If that is of such concern to you, I am curious as to why you don't make a living out of beta testing popular or seemingly useful assignments? I see on your website that many of the things that you do also do not appear to be "beta-tested" either. This doesn't make them poor choices for activities. Yet because we only teach the students we are given (which are far from random samples), there is little way to truly "beta-test" as a professor or teacher. That is only the tip of the iceberg of my thoughts on this matter, but I have to admit that every time I see you say that, I wonder why you do not try to conduct your own research. Your results could be valuable to most teachers/professors, but as almost NOTHING we do has been researched about its effects, it becomes meaningless to say that.
