  1. SACS Monitoring Report Student Learning Outcomes

  2. Comprehensive Standard 3.3.1.1Institutional Effectiveness: Educational Programs • The university has not sufficiently documented that it: • Is assessing the extent to which it achieves its program and student learning outcomes • Is making improvements in its educational programs and student learning outcomes based on the results of those assessments

  3. Key Points • Highlight and interpret the results of assessment measures • Reveal the extent to which the outcomes have or have not been achieved • Document improvements in programs/student learning outcomes as a function of the results

  4. Reviewer Comments • We have identified the expected outcomes, assessment measures, and achievement targets. • Insufficient attention to the analysis—with a focus on describing and interpreting the extent to which the outcomes were or were not achieved • Insufficient evidence of improvements as a direct result (even when evidence showed minimum success)

  5. Department Chairs • Completion of WEAVE online for 2009-01 academic year—the assessment results, analysis and plans for improvement are needed • Please pay particular attention to the analysis of the results • Please pay particular attention to the plans for improvement • Please provide documentation of proposed changes

  6. Sources of Documentation • Adding a statement to the Curriculum and Course Change System • Please discuss with faculty the need to document use of assessment data/assessment analysis when proposing courses or curricular changes • Discussion of assessment results on departmental agendas and in your minutes • Include in department curriculum committee meeting minutes

  7. Federal Standard 4.4 Program Length • Doctoral program length • Policy versus Practice regarding number of hours above the masters (12 plus 18=30) or above the post baccalaureate (42 plus 18=60) • Handbooks must be online; number of hours delineated in the graduate announcements (courses and dissertation) • Change in our policy is recommended
