How To Assess or How Not to Assess … That is the Question Christine Masters, Sarah Rzasa, Jill Lane, Richard Behr The Pennsylvania State UniversityAbstract Many innovations are taking place in engineering classrooms across the nation. Buthow do we decide if an innovation is achieving the desired outcomes? Most engineering facultymembers are interested, even eager to make improvements in the way engineering concepts aretaught in their courses. But many, if not most, have little or no experience in formal educationalassessment. Hopefully our experiences in assessing a new innovation incorporated into the largeenrollment statics course at Penn State during the Fall of 2004 can
