  14. General Educational Assessment • How do your department’s G.E. courses provide a “general” approach to your discipline where there is greater emphasis on “breadth” rather than “depth”? • How do your G.E. courses connect to the institutional mission and goals? • Are your G.E. courses appropriate for their indicated level of instruction (freshman/sophomore/junior)? • How is this determined?

  15. G.E. Assessment (cont.) • What identifiable outcomes do your G.E. courses have in the following areas: • Written and oral communication • Quantitative Reasoning • Critical Analysis • Information Literacy • In what ways do your G.E. offerings contributed to the over all education of an SPU student?

  16. How do you know? • What is your evidence?

  17. Departmental Assessment • Are your departmental/school goals sufficiently established to provide adequate guidance? • Are the indicators of success for your program adequately identified, articulated and conveyed to students? • How does this occur? • Are your intended outcomes realized? • How do you know? • What is your evidence? • How is your assessment data systematically gathered, analyzed and evaluated? • How have you utilized your results to ensure improved student learning?
