Each academic department maintains responsibility for the assessment of student learning in all programs and courses offered by that department. However, at both the university-wide and the college/department levels, a common process guides assessment:
- Learning goals and assessable objectives linked both to the institution's mission and goals and to the goals of the general education program
- Designing an affordable, understandable plan to measure learni
- Collecting and interpreting information relative to students' ability to meet the learning goals and objectives
- Providing feedback to students and other stakeholders
- Devising means of improving student learning that are linked to strategic planning and budgeting processes
- Gathering, interpreting, and using evidence related to student learning form the foundation of this process.
