PUG Knows and PAR-L

This section is a joint effort of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Assessment and Evaluation and ParSystem - a computerized testing system. Special thanks go to Neil Sapper, NGSAPPER#064;pcad-ml.actx.edu, for editing these materials and preparing them for internet posting.

ERIC/AE is quite interested in this section as it contains essays by practitioners discussing solutions to real, practical problems and issues. While some of the essays are couched in terms of the ParSystems, we expect the essays to be of interest to a broad audience and the information to generalize beyond ParSystems. Inclusion of these materials does not imply an endorsement of the ParSystem - we at ERIC have never seen their products.

The essays in this section originally appeared in PUG KNOWS - the ParSYSTEM User's Group newsletter. Some of the essays have appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education and the T.H.E. Journal. In all cases, the journal has given reproduction rights to the author or the PUG KNOWS editor, and they, in turn have given us permission to post the material here.

ParSystems maintains an unmoderated discussion group, PAR-L which is open to all. You can subscribe by sending e-mail to LISTSERV#064;CCAT.SAS.UPENN.EDU. The body of the text should be
