Adventures in Assessment
Announcing the new Office of Assessment blog! And welcome to our two intrepid bloggers: Lindsay Portnoy from Educational Foundations and Brian Buckwald from Scholar Programs. Lindsay and Brian have been kind enough to agree to share their adventures in assessment with the rest of us. Both are wonderfully thoughtful and energetic and care deeply about our students. Looking forward to what they contribute.
If you'd like to join them as a fellow blogger, please let us know. Otherwise, make sure to visit the blog and follow us on Twitter for post updates.
Can't wait for the first blog post? Come get to know Lindsay when she presents on rubrics along with Erica Chutuape from Asian American Studies at the ACERT Lunchtime Seminar on October 23.
