| The Mezeskes (a husband and wife team) serve as general editors on this volume that includes contributed chapters from over a dozen professors with extensive experience across a range of disciplines and course types. They offer novel assessment techniques that can be used in any type of higher education institution and discipline based on sound theoretical underpinnings but with a heavy emphasis on application—showing ways individual professors can actually use these techniques in their own classrooms. Some of these include concept mapping, variable grading, learning logs, moving from memorization to analysis, making labs mre practical, exams as learning experiences, web-based assessment, thinking styles, tracking learning over time, assessment in the real world, and an evaluation of student assessment itself.
