CSCI ASSESSMENT

College of Science Assessment Explained

Assessment helps us to determine how well learning outcomes at the course (SLOs), program (PLOs), and University (ILOs) level are being reached. The data is then used to inform curricular and pedagogical changes. Curriculum maps indicate the courses in which students are introduced to, develop, and master the PLO's and how those relate to the ILO's. The long-term plans explain the cycle proposed for assessing each PLO and the methodology to be used. Departments complete annual reports on the assessment results for that academic year and plans moving forward based on those results. Reports are posted on the Committee for Academic Planning and Review (CAPR) site. CSCI quarter based assessment archives prior assessment reports. CSCI Programs receiving external accreditation are listed here.

New to Assessment?

If you are new to assessment, find out how assessment
committees are structured and where to learn more about assessment.

Academic Review, Assessment and Accreditation

CAPR oversees program academic review. The Educational Effectiveness Committee (EEC) ensures ongoing assessment and improvement of all academic programs

Locate Course Learning Outcomes

Pedagogy, assignments, and assessments should be designed to meet course, program, and institutional learning outcomes as indicated in curriculum maps and assessment plans. Your department's course learning outcomes can be found here.

Make Changes to Your Program

Information on curriculum development for program changes can be found here. To make changes to core courses, use the Curriculum Map Template Instructions and Long Term Assessment Plan Template and Instructions found under Assessment Resources. Check with your associate dean if you do not know where to start.
