I agree with you that didactic pedagogy has uniform assessment criteria, such as a test with correct responses identified by the teacher. That brings to mind what can make didactic pedagogy anachronistic: tests may be culturally biased so that persons not matching the teacher's cultural background may not be able to answer the test items correctly as often as students with the teacher's cultural background. This was discovered with IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tests when I was in high school; African Americans, Hispanics, and persons at lower socio-economic level were not able to achieve as high a score on IQ tests because of the bias in questions being asked and correct answers identified.
