How does assessment help my program?

The annual assessment reporting process aids deparments in five ways:

1. Aid departments in assessing student learning more effectively
2. Aid departments in keeping a record of their assessment efforts
3. Aid deparments in recording changes made due to assessment results
4. Aid departments in better articulating and supporting arguments when requesting resources from administration
5. Aid departments in documenting changes made in light of assessment results, which can be used when writing 5 year self-studies

The annual assessment report form can be found here, and a submission timeline can be found here.
