Assessing Student Learning is a standard reference for college faculty and administrators, and the third edition of this highly regarded book continues to offer comprehensive, practical, plainspoken guidance. The third edition adds a stronger emphasis on making assessment useful, greater attention to building a culture in which assessment is used to inform important decisions, an enhanced focus on the many settings of assessment, especially general education and co-curricula, a new emphasis on synthesizing evidence of student learning into an overall picture of an integrated learning experience, new chapters on curriculum design and assessing the hard-to-assess, more thorough information on organizing assessment processes, new frameworks for rubric design and setting standards and targets, and many new resources. Faculty, administrators, new and experienced assessment practitioners, and students in graduate courses on higher education assessment will all find this a valuable addition to their bookshelves.
