Assessment IS…

Systematic gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence to determine how well performance matches class expectations and standards

Planning improvements based on analysis – using the resulting information to document, explain, and improve performance

Assessment IS NOT…

Merely Data Gathering

A Research Project

Grading

A New Form of Performance Evaluation

COLLECTIVELY ASSESSING RESULTS

• Appoint a Faculty point-person per course

• Faculty decides the best way to assess

how much learning is taking place…as it refers to

each SLO

• How much learning vs. Right or Wrong
