“…influen&al college rankings like the one published by U.S. News & World Report measure mostly wealth and status…; they reveal next to nothing about what students learn.”
“We need to shed more light on how well colleges are educa&ng their students – to help prospec&ve students make beJer decisions, and to exert pressure on the whole system to provide beJer value for money.”
Atlan&c Monthly (July/August 2009)
“Reliable measures of the quality of undergraduate teaching already exist. The Na&onal Survey of Student Engagement gathers data on factors proven to correlate with learning”
“The Collegiate Learning Assessment tests students’ cri&cal thinking and measures progress over a college career.”
