ABSTRACT: Scott Jaschik's report "Fresh Approach to Accountability"
on the higher-education assessment plans of the National Association
of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) is discussed,
along with the pro-NASULGC-plan response by Charles Miller, Chair of
the U.S. Dept. of Education's (USDE's) "Commission on the Future of
Higher Education," and the anti-NASULGC-plan response of Peg Miller,
Director of the National Forum on College-Level Learning (NFCLL). The
top-down summative-assessment approaches of the USDE, NASULGC, and
NFCLL are contrasted with bottom-up formative-assessment approach of
the physics-education reform effort.
