Why Assessment?

To borrow a quote from
"Guidelines for the Implementation of Campus-Based Assessment in the State University of New York"

Assessment is not evaluation, nor is it competition. Assessment is a process, first and foremost, for understanding and improving student learning. Further, a true "culture of assessment" requires that assessment results … be shared only with appropriate stakeholders.

Assessment results should never be used to punish, publicly compare, or embarrass students, faculty, courses, programs, departments, or institutions either individually or collectively, or to make public comparisons among groups of students based on gender, race, ethnicity, or demographic.
