Assessment Cycle
Create Assessment Plan/Revise Plan Based on Past Results
An assessment plan should list the student learning outcomes for an academic unit, where they will be addressed throughout that program, and what assessments will be used to evaluate student learning. After the assessments have been conducted, the data should be used to revise the plan for the purpose of improving student learning.
Review Plan
At the beginning of each semester, faculty should review their course materials (i.e. syllabi) and activities to ensure that they align with the assessment plan.
Conduct Assessments
Throughout the semester, faculty will assess student learning as outlined in the assessment plan.
