Social psychologist Dunn (Moravian College, Bethlehem, PA) introduces 14 chapters presenting current thinking and best practices in assessment responsive to pressures for accountability in educating diverse students in psychology, from high school through college. Models (such as a revision of Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive functions) and examples are presented for student self- assessment, assessment of nontraditional approaches (e.g. distance learning), and such evaluation practices as student portfolios.
