Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-11 00:00:00 Susan Mcgonnell I appreciated the intention and design behind this monograph to motivate practitioners to implement self-authorship initiatives on their campuses. I don't usually care for publications or presentations that just brag about a program people are doing but here the framing was done right to be able to use these as examples for your own practice. I particularly appreciated the discussion regarding the contradictory data from quantitative and qualitative assessment and the lessons related to reconciling these contradictions.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-23 00:00:00 S Christopher Lirely Pohlman makes a clear case for a positive assessment approach that "demystifies" a learner's weaknesses and assets, with the aim of providing an effective prescription for instructional support. A neurodevelopmental framework is introduced to explain how to recognize the linkages between academic skills and neurodevelopmental functions through the use of appropriate assessment tasks. Pohlman promotes a phenomenological approach to understanding a student (by "splitting," or breaking things down to the root causes, rather than "lumping") and provides guidance for organizing this information in an understandable way for everyone involved, including the student.
