I recently sent a 511-line post:

Hake, R.R. 2003. "NRC's CUSE: Stranded on Assessless Island?" post of

<http://listserv.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308&L=pod&F=&S=&P=391>.

I did not send the post to PHYS-L with 300-line limit.

In that post I wrote:

"Robert Zemsky's (2003) commissioned paper in NRC's CUSE (Committee
on Undergraduate Education) report by McCray et al. (2003) contains
some useful insights but, in my opinion, indicates that he has missed
the boat with respect to the potential reform of undergraduate
education through education research by disciplinary experts as
monitored by rigorous pre/post testing. But then, as indicated in
Hake (2003a,b) Zemsky is in the good company of CUSE and its workshop
participants, who appear to be STRANDED ON ASSESSLESS ISLAND with no
way to gauge the need for, or effect of, educational reform
strategies."
