  7. QEP Check List: • Does the proposal address a significant opportunity to improve student learning that emerges from UNCG’s institutional data? • Do the proposed improvements in student learning align with UNCG’s Vision and Mission statements? • Does the proposal tie clearly to one or more of the activated Strategic Plan Goals? • Do the topic and the proposed approach engage wide interest at UNCG? • Are the impacted student populations clearly identified? • Does the proposal state clear student learning outcomes that are measurable, or can such SLOs be readily developed from the proposal? • Do the suggested strategies tie clearly to realization of the student learning outcomes? • Are the suggested strategies grounded in research on teaching, learning and student development? • Are applicable and direct methods for assessing student learning identified in the proposal? • Are the members of the UNCG community responsible for implementing the proposal broadly identified and the necessary resources indicated? • Is the proposal realistically achievable in relation to UNCG’s resources?
