				Welcome to the FIRST Assessment Repository. 
143
				The repository contains detailed information on assessment tools used
144
				[primarily] in biological and ecological science courses.
145
				Records herein adhere to a standard educational metadata specification 
146
				and enable educators to explore effective teaching models and techniques.
147

148
			<p class="intro">	
149
				The aim is to associate outcome measures (i.e. student test scores) with the particular concepts
150
				on which the student is being tested and also associate the specific instructional techniques employed 
151
				when presenting that material to the student.
152
			</p>
153
				
154
			<p class="intro">
155
				The repository relies primarily on data collected from and submitted by
156
				professors and instructors.  While this system is still in active development,
157
				a quick search should reveal the depth, flexibility, and utility of the model. 
158
				And, of course, feedback is strongly encouraged and greatly appreciated.
159

160
