Overview of class

Students in this course will examine a variety of ways in which assessment and evaluation can be implemented to improve higher education. Alternative methodological approaches will be reviewed and critiqued, as will the larger public policy context which brought assessment to the forefront of the nation's educational agenda. Students will develop a foundational understanding of the scholarship of assessment and a framework for thinking about the circumstances under which assessment and evaluation can be conducted successfully and used to promote educational quality. The course material will include discussions of data and quantitative analyses.
