Описание: Each of the chapters contained herein is worth reading by itself, but I hope that readers will take the time to consume all of the chapters in order to see meta-trends taking shape in various settings--and to observe as well the growing sophistication of assessment practices as they evolve to fit the ever-changing contexts of higher education.--From the foreword by Trudy W. Banta
