Description: "In this issue of New Directions for Teaching and Learning, we introduce readers to both theory and practical examples of innovations in assessment in the college classroom. Examples include authentic testing, testing with multimedia, portfolios, visual synthesis, and performance-based testing, among others. We also suggest that student performance on exams can be improved by techniques that can be implemented both before and after the exam to make students better learners."--Jacket.
