"Institutional researchers, accreditation committee members, faculty, and all the rest of us working to assess student learning will be inspired by the examples of good practices set in a scholarly context by Banta, Jones, and Black." —Randy L. Swing, executive director, Association for Institutional Research
"The authors' long and deep experience in assessment has informed this wonderful resource, which combines overarching principles of effective assessment with concrete case studies drawn from diverse institutions. Readers will learn how to go beyond using standardized test scores as the sole measure of learning, how to establish classroom-based assessment, how to use multiple assessment data for improvement, and how to get faculty involved in the process." —Barbara E. Walvoord, author, Effective Grading and Assessment Clear and Simple
"Higher education's preeminent assessment scholars have done it again, responding to growing requests for assessment models and examples of good practice with an extensive array of meaningful, practical profiles. No matter what your institution's mission, and no matter where you are in the assessment process, you will find a wealth of ideas here." —Linda Suskie, author, Assessing Student Learning: A Common Sense Guide
