Abstract

Utilizing the experience of teaching and learning in a graduate-level assessment course, authors present a service learning course for undergraduate honors students. Using campus and community as touchstones, students are tasked with developing, implementing, and analyzing an assessment measure based on specific needs to engage in the entire life cycle of assessment. The authors identify non-profits as a unifying client population because they emphasize the community element of service learning and accommodate a variety of student backgrounds and interests. Classroom work is oriented around discussion and collaboration. Identification of outcomes, data collection and analysis, and dissemination of results are presented in oral and written formats.
