A perfect sequel to Assessment in Student Affairs ." --Charles C. Schroeder, vice chancellor for student affairs, University of Missouri-Columbia "This essential companion to Assessment in Student Affairs describes assessment tools and a step-by-step approach for use in any student affairs unit. The treatment of cost effectiveness as a component to program assessment is particularly helpful." --Trudy W. Banta, vice chancellor for planning and institutional improvement, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis "If you liked their first book, you will absolutely love this one.

They tell us when, where, how, and why we should conduct assessments differently within a wide variety of student service departments. Read and apply!" --Gary R. Hanson, professor, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Arizona State University " Assessment in Student Affairs was an important resource for faculty who teach good assessment practices.
