Assessment Resources for FacultyFaculty members are very familiar with assessing students. We constantly collect feedback from students to see what they are and are not learning. Most of this assessment takes place at the class or section level. This is important feedback for running a successful class, but it does not tell us enough about how students are doing in our programs and in the college, as a whole. The assessment of student learning at the program level asks questions about student learning at a different level of analysis, including:
The College has dozens of programs, hundreds of faculty, and thousands of students, so the assessment of student learning is, by necessity, going to be a large undertaking. However, if we stick to the core principle of assessing what we value (our goals), we will find value in the results and we will use these results to benefit current and future students. Assessment resources for faculty are divided into a few different sections. Training materials are provided to introduce faculty to the basic principles of assessment, including information about program goals and the College's assessment plan. Development materials are provided to give faculty useful tools for developing and implementing assessment methods. Finally, links to external assessment web sites are given to help faculty find resources outside of the college. Training MaterialsIntroduction to Assessment Program goals (found within guide sheets)
