Swerve Left: Mandatory testing for colleges?

Swerve Left: Mandatory testing for colleges? A nice post exploring some of the broad issues in assessment at the university level. One of the tasks in formulating a new core curriculum is thinking about how (and how much) should the new emphasis on assessment be embedded in the resulting core. The comments at the end of the post constitute strong evidence of the learning outcomes that have been achieved by Swerveleft's community: critical thinking, analytical capabilities, synthesis, international mindedness, etc.
