Measuring Non Cognitive Variables: Improving Admissions and Post Enrollment Services in Higher Education is written for admissions professionals, counselors, faculty and advisors who admit, teach, or work with students during the admissions process and post-enrollment period. It brings together theory, research and practice related to noncognitive variables in a practical way by using assessment methods provided at no cost. Noncognitive variables have been shown to correlate with the academic success of students of all races, cultures, and backgrounds. Noncognitive variables include personal and social dimensions, adjustment, motivation, and student perceptions, rather than the traditional verbal and quantitative areas (often called cognitive) typically measured by standardized tests.

Key Features include: models that raise concepts related to innovation, diversity and racism in proactive ways; examples of admission and post-enrollment applications that show how schools and programs can use noncognitive variables in a variety of ways; additional examples from foundations, professional associations, and K-12 programs; and an overview of the limitations of traditional assessment methods such as admission tests, grades, and courses taken.

William C. Olsen, Walter E. A. van Beek, and the contributors to this volume seek to understand how Africans have confronted evil around them. Grouped around notions of evil as a cognitive or experiential problem, evil as malevolent process, and evil as an inversion of justice, these essays investigate what can be accepted and what must be condemned in order to evaluate being and morality in African cultural and social contexts. These studies of evil entanglements take local and national histories and identities into account, including state politics and civil war, religious practices, Islam, gender, and modernity.
