The Assessment Division of the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning exists to carry out the University's assessment program and provide the instructional community with unique opportunities for the development, acquisition, and/or enhancement of instructional methods. As a service offered through the FCTL, assessment plays a crucial role in developing the instructional tools necessary to transform or improve courses that impact student learning outcomes.
From research projects within individual courses to department or program wide assessment plans, the Assessment Division provides support to the instructional community as we together explore key questions regarding student learning outcomes:
- What do we want students to be able to know, do, and appreciate?
- How do we know that students are achieving our intended learning outcomes?
As a next step in the assessment process, the Assessment Division can aid in the measurement of student learning outcomes, the analysis of results, and the application of those results to make necessary changes or improvements to departments, programs, or courses.
