Assessment Essentials: Planning, Implementing, and Improving Assessment in Higher Education
Lýsing:
This thoroughly revised and updated step-by-step guide provides the most current practices for developing assessment programs on college and university campuses. Assessment Essentials outlines the assessment process from the first to the last step and is filled with illustrative examples of how assessment is accomplished on today's academic campuses. It is especially useful for faculty members and others who may be new to the assessment process.
This edition builds upon the first, offering new material in a familiar framework. In addition, the various direct and indirect assessment methods that are described in chapters throughout the volume are introduced in the first five chapters to allow for expansion of material on course-embedded assessment and use of rubrics. The authors also added new sections and/or chapters on assessment and technology, including online assessment, assessment management systems, and assessment in MOOCs; the contributions of for-profit universities to assessment development; assessment in the field of student affairs; international initiatives in assessment; and trends for the future of outcomes assessment.
