| Description: |
Making a Difference presents a comprehensive account of the best practices and lessons learned in outcomes assessment. The book brings together detailed first-person accounts by the most successful practitioners in the field to show how assessment findings have been used to improve programs, student services, and student learning. (This book was published by Jossey-Bass, and this paperback reprint is available through NCHEMS at a reduced price, with the publisher’s permission.) “Finally, we have concrete evidence that assessment has improved academic programs. Watch out skeptics! This book combines real-world experience and expert perspective in a convincing statement about assessment’s legitimacy as a tool for curricular improvement.” –Elaine El-Khawas, Vice President for Policy Analysis and Research, American Council on Education |
