This handbook was developed by people at the College who work on different kinds of assessment every day. Although we strove to be clear, concise, and cohesive, it was important to us that this document not be too dry or too flowery—that it accurately reflects the diversity of styles, disciplines, areas, projects, and scope of Community College of Philadelphia. Please let us know how we did assessment@ccp.edu.
