Assurance of Learning Ready

Many educational institutions today are focused on the notion of assurance of learning, an important element of some accreditation standards. A Contemporary Approach is designed specifically to support your assurance of learning initiatives with a simple, yet powerful, solution.

Each test bank question for A Contemporary Approach maps to a specific chapter learning outcome/objective listed in the text. You can use our test bank software, EZ Test, to easily query for learning outcomes/objectives that directly relate to the learning objectives for your course. You can then use the reporting features of EZ Test to aggregate student results in similar fashion, making the collection and presentation of assurance of learning data simple and easy. You can also use our Algorithmic-Diploma Test Bank to do this.

AACSB Statement

McGraw-Hill Companies is a proud corporate member of AACSB International. Recognizing the importance and value of AACSB accreditation, we have sought to recognize the curricula guidelines detailed in AACSB standards for business accreditation by connecting selected questions in A Contemporary Approach to the general knowledge and skill guidelines found in the AACSB standards.

The statements contained in A Contemporary Approach are provided only as a guide for the users of this text. The AACSB leaves content coverage and assessment clearly within the realm and control of individual schools, the mission of the school, and the faculty. The AACSB does also charge schools with the obligation of doing assessment against their own content and learning goals. While A Contemporary Approach and its teaching package make no claim of any specific AACSB qualification or evaluation, we have, within A Contemporary Approach labeled selected questions according to the six general knowledge and skills areas. The labels or tags within A Contemporary Approach are as indicated. There are, of course, many more within the test bank, the text, and the teaching package which might be used as a “standard” for your course. However, the labeled questions are suggested for your consideration.
