Appendix 5
Components of Revised Departmental Assessment Plans
Departmental assessment plans provide a framework for assessment of academic programs.
For each of its major programs, departments will develop brief statements addressing
the following three questions:
- What are the program's desired student outcomes?
- What means does the department use to assess attainment of these outcomes?
- What departmental structures and processes are in place to ensure that results of
assessment are used for program improvement?
