Abstract	This chapter describes assessment strategies as applied through a course redesign in an undergraduate Social Problems course that features local, national, and international topics. The alignment between the assessment strategies used in this course and the pedagogical improvements implemented is intentionally directed at the development of students' critical thinking skills. In particular, these assessment strategies infuse and scaffold opportunities for developing critical thinking skills throughout the entire course. (As Provided).
