Let’s talk… What are the strengths of students as shown through the program assessment? What areas need to be strengthened? What next steps are suggested regarding NSE from the assessment process and outcomes?
Let’s talk… Which of these steps can be taken over the next year? How does this relate to our support of at-risk students? Which of these steps need to be taken over the long term? How does this relate to our support of at-risk students?
Looking forward… Where should the focus be placed for the 2018-19 Assessment Cycle? • Critical Thinking • Oral Communication • Interpersonal Communication Why that Learning Outcome?
Looking forward… What kinds of faculty development would you find helpful related to assessment? Should the process of communicating the assessment process and results change for next year? If so, how? How should the process of assessing and reviewing the results change next year, if at all? What are the other learning outcomes for NSE and how are they being assessed?
