  5. Two-Year Assessment Cycle

  6. Please Remember 1) This is Program-Level Assessment • This exercise is about measuring student learning across the General Education curriculum. • This exercise is NOT about evaluating specific courses/course sections. • This exercise is NOT about the performance of individual faculty. 2) Assessment Does NOT Have to be Disruptive • Build on what you are already doing  consider the value of EMBEDDED INSTRUMENTS • Simplify your life  consider the value of RUBRICS

  7. III. 2011-2013 Assessment Cycle • POLS 1101 Experience & Outcomes • Learning Outcome: US Perspectives • Instrument: Non-embedded post-test (MC+Essay) • Rubric: Yes, Analytic • Participation: Universal, 29 sections (c. 1800 students) • Moving Forward: Revise, rescale…but to continue • ENGL 1102 Experience & Outcomes • Learning Outcomes: Reading Comprehension & Written Communication • Instrument: Embedded writing assignment • Rubric: Yes, Holistic • Participation: Universal, 112 sections (c. 2400 students) • Moving Forward: Revise, rescale…but to continue

V. 2013-2015 Assessment Cycle • Lay Groundwork with Colleagues • I’m happy to talk to anyone at any time • Map Learning Outcome on to Course(s) • Are there things you’re already doing that could be used to assess learning outcome? • KEY: Experience should be common to all students • Consider the Value of Rubrics • Simplifies data creation and collection • May be particularly useful for “Natural Science” learning outcome • KEY: Criteria should map on to learning outcome
