| Description: |
Pressure on college and university administrators is greater than ever before to identify and improve the impact of their programs upon students. Without exception, institutions are being asked explicitly—and often skeptically—to show that they are making a difference. As the author of this book points out, “the question is clearly no longer one of whether, but how.” This volume provides the “how” that administrators have been waiting for. In answer to the questions, this book: • Reviews existing concepts and measurement technology. • Examines appropriate ways to use outcomes information in institutional settings. • Gives procedures to help administrators get the most from their outcomes investment. It is important to make sure that student outcomes information is used to support, instead of hinder, effective management practice. This book affords an important first step in this direction. |
