This study focused on school-level approaches to assessment and accountability policies and practices. A national random sample of 131 (34.22%) principals from juvenile correctional schools for committed youth (JC) responded to a mail and on-line survey.

The average age of students at Lake Michigan College (LMC) is twenty-eight years old. In the current study, the application of customized internet assessment for Chemistry 101, Introductory College Chemistry, from 2001 to 2005 is compared with traditional assessment from 1996 to 2000. The authors describe the ways in which computerized assessment empowers a student, makes teaching efficient and helps the instructor to monitor progress and intervene when necessary. Customized assessment does not require any computer programming knowledge on the instructor's part, nor computer classes for the student.
The article presents a hierarchical framework that supports Web site quality assessment. The framework is composed of a hierarchical structure of criteria and subcriteria and makes use of the analytic hierarchy process to enhance criterion and subcriterion weight value assessment during group assessment. To validate the framework the authors conducted an experiment that involved assessing the Web sites of the three cellular phone service providers in Greece by 122 users. Results confirmed framework validity and rotated factor analysis supported reduction of the original model to a Web site quality-scoring framework, which involves nine composite quality criteria.
This document contains corrections to the final rule published on August 31, 2011, regarding the Cotton Board Rules and Regulations and the adjustment to the supplemental assessment collected for use by the Cotton Research and Promotion Program.
