The Methodology
Process-based assessment answers a simple problem: when AI can generate the product, educators must grade the thinking process — productive struggle, verification, and revision — not only the final submission.

Loss of Critical Thinking
When algorithmic systems instantaneously generate polished outputs, institutions risk evaluating the computational capabilities of the machine rather than the intellectual development of the student.
Read the Research →Cognitive offloading occurs when learners utilize external technological aids to execute complex cognitive tasks, bypassing the productive struggle neurologically necessary for deep comprehension.
If a curriculum continues to heavily weight lower-order tasks, it actively incentivizes academic dishonesty and cognitive deskilling. We must radically shift the center toward higher-order thinking.
Process Over Product
We shift the focus from the final submission to the iterative journey. By grading the process, we restore academic integrity and provide deeper insight into student mastery.
