Hi everyone,
 
I'm reposting part of a message that was sent by Jennifer Harper at the
end of this past October.  She asks about measuring outcomes.  Several
email replies noted sources of student goals and other resources for
surveying students.  How do you measure success in your program?  Do you
depend on test results to help you?  Do you use other methods?  Do you
use a combination of tests and something else?
