Improving Student Learning
ºÚÁϵ¼º½ applies Deming’s Model for Continuous Improvement to our practice of learning outcome assessment, and it is designed according to the following process and policy.
Process and Policy
ºÚÁϵ¼º½’s model for the assessment of student learning in its academic programs is designed according to the following principles:
- Program faculty are responsible for assessing the student learning outcomes of their program.
- Assessment activities should be useful, annual, and integrated as much as possible into what faculty are already doing.
- Faculty define the most important learning outcomes, set standards of performance, and measure achievement.
- Results are used to make program improvements.
- The CPI Committee of the Academic Senate provides institutional oversight.
- The Office of the Provost provides institutional support.
