Review :
"Assessment continues to dominate the academic landscape. During the past two decades, a range of higher education assessment techniques have been created and the inherent challenges and struggles of course, program, or institution assessment have been discussed.What assessment techniques are faculty currently using? What are the current assessment challenges? How do faculty cope?Assessment: Cases Studies, Experience and Practice from Higher Education provides answers to these questions by providing 22 examples of assessment issues currently facing higher education teachers. The cases are bundled into six major themes: information technology and assessment; reflective assessment; institution-wide assessment; assessment methods for special purposes, individual students and assessment; and hands-on assessment. These real-life cases are based on assessment experiences of 34 faculty members spanning various disciplines, countries, and perspectives.In easy-to-read narrative, each case discusses the struggles, frustrations, lessons, and triumphs of real-life assessment experiences. Faculty members illustrate and reflect on how they coped with assessment and indicate areas where different decisions could have been made. Readers are encouraged to reflect on major decisions in each assessment case, to question actions taken, and to formulate other options for handling assessment issues. This reader-involvement transforms Assessment: Cases Studies, Experience and Practice from Higher Education into an interactive workbook that encourages readers to learn from their peers' experiences in order to foster personal growth and development in higher education assessment.Those new to assessment willappreciate the concise discussion of 22 major assessment issues. Assessment veterans will appreciate the authenticity in each case and the opportunity to explore, discover, and understand major personal and professional issues that arise when implementing assessment techniques in higher education.Everyone involved in higher education assessment - faculty members and administrators - are strongly encouraged to read and reflect on the issues advanced in Assessment: Cases Studies, Experience and Practice from Higher Education"
