| Abstract
|
:
|
"Trudy Banta has not only been the editor of 'Assessment Update' since its inception in 1989, she has also been one of the principle discussants, practitioners, and theorists of outcomes assessment in higher education. This collection of her editorial notes showcases her unique vantage point, illuminating the many facets of assessment in colleges and universities during the past two decades. At once realistic and positive, these essays will repay many readings."--Pg.[4] of cover
