The official language standard was updated a few years ago\nby both ANSI and ISO, to what is referred to as the "C99" standard.\nTo even be close to current, you'll want to be aware of the\nchanges made there.  You should be able to buy an electronic\ncopy from http://webstore.ansi.org or a hardcopy book from\nthe normal places (like amazon.com).\n\nConsiderably more current, however, will be what you find at\nthe ISO working group home page:\n\n    http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/\n\nHere you'll find the text of the existing defect reports,\ntechnical corrigendums, proposals for changes, as well as\nthe text of the rationale (which explains *why* certain\nstandards decisions were made).\n\nOne other source for both proposals for future changes as well\nas explanation of historical issues is:\n\n    http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/

There is usually another step in the process - product readiness - it's a separate group of people / different dept.  Prevents those crazy QA guys and gals from taking over the world :)

Quality of course. \n\nA bigger pile of Shi* isn't a good thing.

I think the phrase you really want is "Total Quality Management" not leadership.  You may also want to look at "Sigma 6" and "Just in time inventory" as google searches if you're looking for that sort of information.

aesthetics? isn't it subjective? I.e. what's wrong is that whoever evaluated your work doesn't think it's pretty. \n\nTry to find out who evaluates the exams and look at their work, or critical reviews that they wrote to get an idea of what they like.

Good Luck!  I work for a major telecom and our folks who define IT standards are almost anti-opensource.  I get the impression that the decision makers are under the impression that if it doesn't anything, it can't be a decent product.

Repeating the same questions is an excellent method of achieving quality.  It is called "auditing".  You audit the organization's ability to follow the defined processes.

I know of a website which offers a Six Sigma manual and Question bank among many other things. Try visiting it and see if it suits your needs.\nwww.treqna.com

It depends on accreditation standards. It depends on which standards are used.\n\nI don't think there is a hell of a lot of difference between accreditation standards from country to country. I think Europe's standards are as high as other parts of the world. \n\nThe United States doesn't necessarily have the best standards. And maybe Japan or India or South Africa are better. You can't tell until you find out what the standards are and how they apply to each and every school and every country in the world. \n\nThat would be an awesome task if it were your job to do that.

Here's a Six Sigma web page of links to TQM resources.  By the way, a Google search for "TQM" yielded a measly 5,050,000 hits!\n\nGood luck!
