What have you found that works in assessing learning beyond the traditional multiple choice testing and research paper writing?

As an English instructor, I find assessment to be effective in the forms of journal writing or surveys I post on Discussion Board in Blackboard for semester-long student feedback. Periodically, I toss students an e-mail to ask if everything is okay.

I assign my students homework with each reading. For easier articles they have to write the thesis and the supporting argumentation for that thesis. For harder articles they answer directed questions. This ensures students read and have some understanding of the material before they come to class. This creates more fruitful and in-depth discussions during class.
