Assurance of Learning

“It [assessment] enables educators to examine whether the curriculum makes sense in its entirety and whether students, as a result of all their experiences, have the knowledge, skills, and values that graduates should possess.”

Banta and Palomba, Assessment Essentials, 2014, p. 10
