The original text includes narrative addressing assessment issues and strategies; a detailed discussion of learning from multiple research projects performed over the past two decades about impact on multiple constituencies -students, faculty, communities, and institutions; and a discussion of strategies for data collection, analysis, synthesis, and reporting.
