This paper is an attempt to respond to the need for workable procedures for assessing the effectiveness of programs and institutions in complex postsecondary education systems. Effectiveness is taken to mean the capacity of the institution to advance student development-academic, vocational, and affective. Four general strategies are outlined in the paper that are intended to: (1) yield information directly applicable to policy issues and decisions; (2) yield information in a timely fashion; and (3) be implementable, in the sense of practical feasibility. The four plans briefly outlined, are the following: (1) Senior Assessment; intellectual competence focuses on the development of a number of intellectual and academic attributes while taking into account the general academic ability of the student at the time he enters as a freshman. (2) Sophomore Assessment: intellectual and/or vocational: affords a method for evaluating institutional effectiveness in either general education or vocational training programs during the first two postsecondary years. (3) Cross-sectional: intellectual and nonintellectual, generated by all the information yielded by 1 and 2 as well as intellectual criteria. (4) Alumni survey permits taking freshman ability into account in assessing postgraduate achievement. (Author/PG)
