评估 of 基金会al Studies (General Education)
在ISU, responsibility for the assessment and improvement of 基金会al Studies (our general education curriculum) rests with the 大学学院 Council. 基金会al Studies conducts assessment with at least three purposes in mind: 1) to determine whether 学生 are achieving the educational goals of the program, 2) to improve instruction and to increase student academic achievement through a 过程 of systematic feedback to faculty, 学术项目, 还有政府, and 3) to regularly review courses for inclusion in the 基金会al Studies program.
The 大学学院 Council takes a three-pronged approach to achieving these goals that includes: 1) a regular cycle of learning outcomes assessment, 2) review of student self-reports of learning in every course, and 3) data analytics related to measures of student success.
研究生课程评估
