"When the first edition of Effective Grading came out, it
quickly became the go-to book on evaluating student learning. This
second edition, especially with its extension into evaluating the
learning goals of departments and general education programs, will
make it even more valuable for everyone working to improve teaching
and learning in higher education."
—L. Dee Fink, author, Creating Significant Learning
Experiences
"Informed by encounters with hundreds of faculty in their
workshops, these two accomplished teachers, assessors, and faculty
developers have created another essential text. Current faculty, as
well as graduate students who aspire to teach in college, will
carry this edition in a briefcase for quick reference to scores of
examples of classroom teaching and assessment techniques and ways
to use students' classroom work in demonstrating departmental and
institutional effectiveness."
—Trudy W. Banta, author, Designing Effective
Assessment
