Writing Assessment

Writing assessment in the context of Rhetoric and Composition refers to the process of evaluating writing based on criteria like clarity, argument strength, organization, and style. It helps educators understand how well students communicate their ideas and engage with different audiences. Assessments can take various forms, including essays, research papers, and presentations, and often involve both feedback and grading. By analyzing students' writing, instructors can identify strengths and weaknesses, guiding future instruction to improve writing skills and enhance critical thinking within a supportive learning environment.
