  4. KP’s notes on Panel Discussion

  5. Barbara Wiens-Tuers, Business and Engineering, Penn State Altoona • Funding to attend conferences (some funding available through Schreyer) • Suggested conferences: • IUPUI (Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis) Assessment Conference • Alverno College (WI) • Formal and Informal Events – emphasize feedback, keep faculty and administration in the loop • Keep It Simple

  6. Alan Graefe, Recreation Parks and Tourism Management, Health and Human Development • Tie into ongoing process (such as curriculum review) • How are students doing in hands-on courses – use of rubrics • Using student perceptions? Only one component – remember to triangulate any findings! • KP’s note: “work the efficiencies” and it’s not easy

  7. James Howell, Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, College of Agricultural Sciences • Started process, then stalled – KP note: happens a lot, don’t throw out your previous work. If you get in a rut, return to “What’s the point?” • Small initial steps, then expanding concentric circles • Assessment as a means to an end – to get traction

  8. Lisa Lenze, Information Sciences and Technology • When faculty are skeptical, emphasize that this is about the curriculum not courses • Use real evidence from student work to make it real and overcome assumptions (“that everyone knows”) • Use data that you already have available

  9. William (Bill) Lasher, School of Engineering and Engineering Technology, Penn State Erie – The Behrend College • Outcome notebook available for anyone to go through to see what’s been done and get ideas (can be hard copy or electronic) • Multiple sources of data (for triangulation) • Build in new processes (such as method for sending email reminders about assignments to be collected for assessment purposes)

  10. Lolita Paff, Business and Economics, Penn State Berks • Process started and stopped • Don’t do things in isolation from each other • Administrators should acknowledge and honor previous work done by faculty re: assessment • Use work that has already been done as a starting point • Nice matrix with courses and whether learning outcome is (I)ntroduced, (T)aught, or (A)pplied in the course

  11. KP Summary of All Panelists • Illustrated the various struggles • Illustrated differences in approaches to assessment • Some more elaborate and evolved but all appropriate to the particular unit • Don’t worry that your unit is as far along, you can get there

  12. Human Subjects Review
