The Impact of Assessment on Minority Access.
McTarnaghan, Roy E.
New Directions for Community Colleges, n59 p75-81 Fall 1987
Reviews assessment efforts in Florida's postsecondary institutions, which emphasize assessing achievement periodically, improving guidance and placement, increasing college readiness among secondary students, and measuring college-level skills after the second college year. Looks at the positive contributions of these changes and the potential for negative impact on minority access. (DMM)
