This very practical resource, designed to provide guidance for all aspects ofstudent learning assessment, offers readers options to select and adapt to their particular circumstances, on any campus. Starting with the basic questions, Why assess? and What are good assessment practices?, the book quickly progresses to the toolbox from which practitioners can choose, and concludes with guidance for putting the results to the best use. Since the first edition of this book was written, the world of assessment in higher education has changed, due in part to increasing pressure from accreditors and state and Federal agencies to assess student learning. The author's ongoing work with thousands of faculty and administrators through workshops, conferences, and consulting over the years has now prompted her to provide this greatly improved edition, which includes: expanded chapter on promoting an assessment culture; expanded chapter on characteristics of good assessment; new chapter on how to address challenges of assessing general education; new chapter on understanding results that includes expanded coverage of setting benchmarks for comparison.
