Assessment Reconsidered book Assessment Reconsidered: Institutional Effectiveness for Student Success
Richard P. Keeling, Andrew F. Wall, Ric Underhile, Gwendolyn J. Dungy

Assessment Reconsidered: Institutional Effectiveness for Student Success promotes the shared ownership of assessment planning among faculty, student affairs educators, administrators, and students. As a project of the International Center for Student Success & Institutional Accountability (ICSSIA), Assessment Reconsidered focuses on the collaborative use of all campus resources in promoting student success. This illuminating work helps both student affairs professionals and faculty members address internal and public questions about the functioning of postsecondary institutions by reconsidering assessment policies, patterns, and practices in colleges and universities.
