Create
useful assessment plans that will
help program faculty to reflect and improve upon existing programs. » Use the program mission
statement as the framework for assessing other components of the program. » Choose clear learning outcomes
that are feasibly measurable. » Do not attempt to assess every
aspect of your program every year. » Do not attempt to assess each
and every student, choose a representative sample. » Use (or adapt) assessment
opportunities you already have in place such as tests, projects, surveys, and
capstones instead of creating an entirely new system of measurement. » Consider using action words such
as “identify,” “analyze,” and “explain,”
when defining learning outcomes. Some say this helps to clarify outcome
results during the evaluation process. Click here
for a taxonomy of cognitive skills with associated action verbs. » Create assessment tools such as
test blueprints and rubrics (rating scales/grading criteria) where
appropriate that will be useful in your assessment plan and your day-to-day evaluation/grading processes. » Review the Resources section
of this Web site to view assessment plans and strategies at other AAU Public
institutions.
