Abstract
Assessment of outcomes in higher education continues to be an important area of study. This paper examines the use of activity-based-assessments in two different courses, an undergraduate general studies course, and a senior capstone course. Relationships between the direct assessments and other indirect measures are explored. The process for implementing the instruments, along with how the institution utilizes the results are included. The procedure utilized could be useful for other quantitative courses with little impact on instructional time.
