4) Did your program engage in any program assessment activities between June 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012? (e.g., establishing/revising outcomes, aligning activities to outcomes, collecting evidence, interpreting evidence, using results, revising the assessment plan, creating surveys, etc.)
Yes
No (skip to question 14)5) For the period June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012: State the assessment question(s) and/or assessment goals. Include the student outcomes that were targeted, if applicable.
Our goal was to first assess SO #1.
6) State the type(s) of evidence gathered to answer the assessment question and/or meet the assessment goals that were given in Question #5.
We piloted freshman academic planning workshops to help students develop a four-year academic plan. Most of the academic plans were submitted.
7) State how many persons submitted evidence that was evaluated. If applicable, please include the sampling technique used.
Fourteen academic plans were submitted and reviewed for accuracy.
8) Who interpreted or analyzed the evidence that was collected? Check all that apply.
Program faculty/staff member(s) Faculty/staff committee Ad hoc faculty/staff group Director or department chairperson Persons or organization outside the university Students (graduate or undergraduate) Dean or Associate Dean Advisory Board Other: 9) How did he/she/they evaluate, analyze, or interpret the evidence? Check all that apply.
Compiled survey results Used quantitative methods on student data (e.g., grades, participation rates) or other numeric data Used qualitative methods on interview, focus group, or other open-ended response data Scored exams/tests/quizzes Used a rubric or scoring guide Used professional judgment (no rubric or scoring guide used) External organization/person analyzed data (e.g., Social Science Research Institute) Other: 10) For the assessment questions/goals stated in Question #5, summarize the actual results.
Students were able to develop an academic plan, but there were many errors on the plans overall.
11) What was learned from the results?
Students had difficulty creating a four-year plan, so alternate assessment strategies are being developed.
12) State how the program used the results or plans to use the results. Please be specific.
Alternate advising strategies and methods are being considered due to the challenges faced by the students in creating their plans.
13) Reflect on the assessment process. Is there anything related to assessment procedures your program would do differently next time? What went well?
Students were able to create a four-year academic plan and received feedback on their plan. We were able to collect their plans as evidence. However, we would like to improve the process of collecting the evidence since we did not receive all of the plans.
