Student Learning Assessment Options and Resources 2nd edition

In order to address the needs of every reader, this handbook starts with the development of learning goals and individual assessment strategies, builds to the creation of a written assessment plan, and ends with a chapter on using assessment results.

The chapters are meant to stand alone or in combination with each other, and the handbook can be valuable to support different approaches.

There are many reference works on the cold war, including The Cold War Encyclopedia (1996) and the recent Historical Dictionary of the Cold War (2000). These works put a crucial period of the twentieth century into perspective. They share an international focus, driven in part by the global nature of the cold war, the events that defined it, and the people who fought it. This new encyclopedia takes a different tack, focusing almost exclusively on American domestic events and issues and touching on international themes only when they are relevant to the U.S. scene.

(This book) addresses these and related questions with concrete examples from a wide variety of mass media - from books to cable television, highway billboards to online services.
