It’s odd to me that so many people other than Freddie have an opinion about whether he should have taken his new job, but for what it’s worth, I think it’s a job worth doing and that Freddie will do it well. For good or ill, assessment is now a basic and non-negotiable element of academic life, and Freddie has a very strong understanding of how it can be done responsibly, accurately, and in the interests of students and teachers alike. I wish him every success.
