Description: "Assessment in Higher Education - of Student Learning, Teaching, Programmes and Institutions is John Heywood's latest contribution to the assessment debate. Building on his previous work it examines not only the assessment of student learning but the assessment of institutions, the programmes they offer, and the teaching they provide. He describes in detail the significant developments that have taken place over the last decade in the field, and clarifies the many different meanings of the term assessment that are now in use. A practical guide for all those involved in design and implementation of outcomes-based assessment, the book also explores the issues that arise for policy makers and managers."--Jacket.
