The Assessment Toolkit is a collection of reviews describing commonly used assessment instruments and methods. You can find a particular tool by searching our list of outcomes, instrument names, or qualitative approaches. Each review provides details about the tool, including history and development; participation and administrative matters such as costs, timing, population, and data collection methods; outcomes measured; relevance for assessing liberal arts education; and benefits and limitations. The Assessment Toolkit was developed by the Center of Inquiry and invited reviewers with experience and expertise in higher education assessment. Please feel free to contact Kimberly Kline or Debra Gentry at assessment@wabash.edu with your comments, feedback, or suggestions for future instruments or assessment approaches.
