The faculty of Eastern Illinois University is fully dedicated to helping our students learn to be better writers, speakers, thinkers, and responsible citizens. Our university learning goals reinforce our mission to serve our students, who boldly go on to serve our world as they make a positive impact through the skills and knowledge they learned with us.
Continuous Improvement
Committed to students' continuous improvement in their learning, faculty regularly reflect upon and take steps to improve their assessment of student learning. At Eastern Illinois University, assessment occurs on two levels:
- At the university-wide level, where it focuses on the abilities, attitudes and behaviors that the sum of students' experiences at EIU have imparted
- At the department level, where such learning continues, complemented by content knowledge in a discipline
Guided by our findings from a Higher Learning Commission (HLC) General Education Seminar, a General Education Assessment Work Group was created to address the need for continuous improvement in general education at EIU. Please join us for the assessment seminars on the Action Plan!
