Student Learning and Assessment

The project examines student assessment strategies and reform efforts from three perspectives: external accreditation and state level governance, institutional policies and practice, and academic programs and departments. Researchers seek to understand how the coexistence of the policies and practices at each level affect student development and outcomes in order to use assessment practices as a tool for improving teaching and learning in colleges and universities.
