The report is based on a survey of nearly 90 American and Canadian colleges. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how many colleges have overall college and/or departmental assessment coordinators? How are they funded and what is the level of cooperation with them? What are the most common assessment tools and tests? How much are budgets for assessment and how are these budgets spent? What role do consultants play?

Just a few findings from the report are that:

77.27% of the colleges sampled require their academic departments to develop an assessment plan that identifies key concepts and ideas its students should master.
For 47.13% of the colleges sampled, the Assessment Office communicates with all or most of the academic departments through designated assessment coordinators.
On average, the participants spent $2,375.33 paying students to take standardized tests that are primarily used within the college for purposes of aiding assessment efforts.
While approximately 95% of the institutions surveyed use student faculty assessment questionnaires to assess most--if not all--of their faculty, 17.81% say these questionnaires have no impact on tenure decisions (including 41.18% of community colleges).
69.86% of the colleges surveyed maintain at least one center whose purpose is to develop faculty teaching skills. This figure is highest in research universities, where 80% have such a center
Colleges with less than 2,500 students were the most likely to conduct exit interviews with graduating students.
