Author’s Note

After being assigned to teach a course on Assessment and Evaluation, I began looking for course materials while listening to the newly released album by Taylor Swift. The lyric, “The Professor said to write what you know” inspired this book because I couldn’t find any resources that said what I wanted students to take away from this new course. So, I took Taylor’s advice and wrote what I knew.

I’d also like to acknowledge my friend Amanda for keeping my mental health in mind when I told her about this project. I didn’t listen, but maybe I should have. But again, “Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?”
