Emily Blanchard West: Making Assessment Work for Us (107.1 2011)

Editor's Note: Emily West, in the preceding article, presents some practical approaches for addressing assessment, a growing presence on college campuses. Because this is such a timely discussion of a topic to which we will all need to pay increasing attention, CJ invites thoughtful responses to Dr. West's article. Such responses should be contributions to our greater ability to address assessment at our own institutions and especially in our own departments and classes.
