The purpose of assessment is to collect meaningful and actionable data that leads to academic improvements for both faculty and students. In pursuit of the university's goal to maintain a high-quality educational experience for our students, assessment is a tool that ensures we are actively pursuing those goals.
The following framework organizes and outlines the process of assessment:
-
Establish clear, measurable expected outcomes of student learning.
-
Ensure that students have sufficient opportunities to achieve those outcomes.
-
Systematically gather, analyze, and interpret evidence to determine how well students are meeting our expectations.
-
Use the resulting information to understand and improve student learning (Suskie, 2014).
Academic assessment reports should be submitted through Weave annually by September 30th.
