I agree that there
are several institutions that seem to dominate the ranking scales of popularity
in reference to higher education. It is awe-inspiring to hear that a not so popular
institution is thinking inventively about the way the way in which students give
evidence for acquired skills, knowledge, and experience to potential employers.
The modern day transcript as it is now, featureless little indication of both a
student’s formal and informal experience, whether learned from an institution
or not.
Personally, I would love to be represented through an array of digital
badges, instead of just a grade for required faculty chosen courses. As is
today, especially in my field, it is much more important that one apply methods
successfully outside of the classroom, than simply memorize or identify the learned
concepts on exams. UC-Davis should pride itself in being such ground-breaking institution
lending its thoughts to that of its students and others alike.
