Annenberg Hall 303: Thurs 6:00PM - 9:00PM

Overview of class

Students examine ways that administrators perform effective, high-quality program assessments in a variety of higher education-related environments. We develop a foundational understanding of the scholarship of assessment and a framework for thinking about how professionals conduct assessment successfully to promote educational quality. Students explore data uses and discuss analysis methods. We also explore the larger public policy context that brings assessment to the forefront of the U.S. higher education agenda. Students apply their understanding through developing an assessment plan (e.g. program curriculum, student orientation, faculty initiatives, international partnerships), which could be used to improve effectiveness of a program, department, institution, or higher education-related organization.
