Recenzii
“This book provides a much needed how-to guide for program-level assessment. Program chairs and faculty charged with conducting assessment will find the authors’ approach practical and the baker's dozen modules succinct, instructive and rich with program-specific examples of effective assessment.”
Jillian Kinzie, Associate Director, Center for Postsecondary Research
Indiana University
“Meaningful and Manageable Program Assessment is a must-have resource for any person or department or program wishing to do program review. Massa and Kasimatis have written a usable guide to assessing program level quality. By starting with an end in mind – what do you want to know about your students’ learning – the authors provide step-by-step guidance for successful review. The refreshing approach doesn’t rely on a cookie-cutter template, but rather on a tailored, nuanced guide reflective of the program’s desired focus on learning and how to step through a very understandable and doable process for improvement that is assessment at its best.”
Terrel L. Rhodes, Vice President, Office of Quality, Curriculum and Assessment
Association of American Colleges and Universities
“Assessment may seem to be so firmly established that little more needs to be said. Then along comes Massa and Kasimatis’ compact, step-by-step primer. They provide a practical overview of an essential institutional responsibility with proven, practical advice for a new generation of faculty. Massa and Kasimatis have given academe a guide to relearn and reaffirm the means and ends of assessment at the program level—this time with a clear message that assessing student learning is a necessary—and doable--part of faculty work. Every new faculty member should receive a copy.”
