Acting Out State-Mandated Assessment: Evidence from Five States.

Ewell, Peter T.; Boyer, Carol M.

Change, v20 n4 p40-47 Jul-Aug 1988

State-mandated assessment of student outcomes has emerged as a new feature in the higher education landscape.

The actual effects of these initiatives were studied in five states: Colorado, Missouri, New Jersey, South Dakota, and Virginia. (MLW)
