Synopsis

"Assessment Clear and Simple" is "Assessment 101" in a book - a concise and step-by-step guide written for everyone who participates in the assessment process. This practical book helps to make assessment simple, cost-efficient, and useful to the institution, while at the same time meeting the requirements of accreditation agencies, legislatures, review boards, and others. "Assessment Clear and Simple" explores a variety of topics and shows how to: build on assessment already in place; use classroom work and grading process; get faculty and department on board; assess hard to define goals such as moral and civic development; development workable learning goals; tailor assessment to its purposes; select sensible assessment measures; make criteria explicit; use assessment to improve learning; establish effective oversight without an assessment bureaucracy; write an assessment report; and, interpret the institution's culture to external audiences.
