Examples of Assessment by Institution |
|
McDaniel College’s Academic Assessment Committee (AAC) has established a regular program of assessment for its general education program (Integrated Study in the Liberal Arts). Each year, the General Education Assessment Subcommittee will assess two or three goals within one of the four broad learning Outcomes for general education: (a) Critical Thinking, (b) Creative Expression and Problem Solving, (c) Communication, (d) Global Citizenship. Adhering to guidelines prepared by the AAC and supported by the faculty, the Subcommittee will select a variety of direct and indirect measures to assess these goals. They will prepare a year-end report summarizing these findings that identifies areas of weakness as well as strengths so that the faculty may make informed changes to meet the goals of the general education curriculum. The Subcommittee’s reports will enable the AAC to monitor and foster continuing faculty assessment of the general education curriculum and to prepare its comprehensive fifth-year report.
