ASSESSING STUDENT LEARNING

A GUIDE TO DEVELOPING

A PROGRAM ASSESSMENT PLAN

PROVIDED BY THE OFFICE OF INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

~ University of San Diego•

Background Information

• The University Assessment Committee (UAC) adopted a university-wide assessment management system (Nuventive – TRAC DAT) in 2014 to support all assessment initiatives at USD.

• Once an assessment plan is developed, it can be entered into the system.

• The system is designed to collect annual assessment data via an emailing feature.

• The system generates assessment plans and annual assessment reports containing results.

• The system allows assessment of student learning to be carried out effortlessly, allowing time to concentrate on enhancing student learning using evidence-based results.

SECTION IDEVELOPING AN ASSESSMENT PLAN

Student Learning Outcomes What intentional learning have you

planned for your students?

Student learning outcomes should:

• align with the goals of the program

• should flow from the website or catalog description of the program

• should be measurable

• should contain verbs that describe actions relating to the knowledge, skills, or values to be exhibited by students

Tools for Assessing Student LearningHow will you measure student learning?

Common assessment tools used to measure student learning:

• rubrics, surveys, evaluations,• observation check lists, • exams, capstone projects, • written reports, oral

presentations, etc.

Benchmark Levels for Student SuccessWhat level of success is sufficient for the group?

Benchmarks identify a portion of students expected to attain a minimum competency level of learning specific knowledge/skills/values

SECTION IICOLLECTING ASSESSMENT RESULTS

Assessment Results

• Results attained from assessing student learning should be used to improve student learning and increase program efficacy.

• Results can also provide data that can be used for marketing and recruitment purposes.

International Study and Global Opportunities More than 70 percent of USD's undergraduate students participate in study abroad programs, including research, internships and community engagement.

USO is ranked consistently at the top in the

nation for study abroad participation.

Academic programs are offered through 135

programs in 44 countries in 76 cities.

Students are challenged to explore existing global

perspectives and cultures to become ethical

leaders in a globally complex world.
