Improving Student Learning
91ÉçÇø 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
91ÉçÇø’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.
