General Education Course Assessment Reporting
DEADLINE: Annual Course Assessment Reports for each Gen Ed Course are due November 1, 2018. Please file one report per course number.
- Departments are asked to assess relevant Learning Outcomes according to the instruments described in their approved assessment plans, and to the cycle put forth in those plans.
- Departments are asked to retain indefinitely all instruments used in the assessment process, as the plan calls for continual detailed reviews of the process over time.
- Use of course grades as assessment indicators is not sufficient in this context.
