This issue of "Assessment Update" presents a three part series on fixing assessments. In Part 1: "Assessment Standards are Broken," David Eubanks highlights the challenges with the assessment standards articulated by institutional accreditors. In this article, Part 2: Megan R. Good, discusses the opportunity costs faced and ideas for maximizing the impact of our work. Good notes, the energy devoted to assessment report management could be better spent elsewhere. One opportunity cost would be the ability to spend more time and focus on the "fun" parts of assessment (or the "collaborative" parts as Eubanks describes it). With this in mind, Good is advocating for more flexibility and freedom. Good concludes that the standards are broad enough to enable flexibility, but the profession must embrace this opportunity and hold this stance when they serve as peer reviewers.
