    • Summary:Assessment is not difficult to talk about and conceptualize, but in the real world of classrooms, deadlines, students, faculty, departments, administrators, and accountability the practice can appear a mare's nest of clashing interests and perceptions. The editors have brought together thirteen case studies of successful implementation in a wide range of institutions--community colleges, private four-year liberal-arts colleges, and public colleges and universities of various sizes and missions. From student involvement and software development to the use of assessment data in strategic planning and the broad institutionalization of a pilot program, there is something here for everyone responsible for assessment in higher education.
