Individual programs/departments/divisions have specific issues and needs related to student learning assessment. This site offers a wide assortment of resources to support program initiatives. The FSU Student Learning Assessment Plan (PDF) includes a 2.5-year reporting cycle for submittal of program assessment results. A guide to writing program assessment plans (DOC) offers a suggested step-by-step format. In response to several faculty requests, two possible formats for creating a department/program assessment plan are offered (in DOC format). Both are downloadable; one offers a visual "flow chart" approach, the other focuses on a step-by-step narrative. Both address fundamental components that should be included in any department/program assessment plan; either can be revised to meet individual program needs. Peggy Maki’s guide for program assessment (DOC) offers another viewpoint on developing a viable program assessment plan. Dr. Maki’s schematic is an excellent resource, offering suggestions on establishing goals, identifying appropriate assessments, reviewing outcomes, and using results. Each program/department/division has the latitude to create an assessment plan that best reflects its desired learning goals and objectives, its methods of assessment, and its procedure for evaluating and using the results of assessment. However, in response to numerous requests, a plan template provides a suggested (but not required format) organizational approach. Writing action-oriented learning goals (DOC) is a fundamental component of any program assessment plan. Minnesota State University-Moorhead has also compiled an excellent list of action verbs [master work files/PRIMER Department Resources/Action Verbs for Student Learning Objectives] that can be used in writing observable goals. The academic program review process serves as a foundation for the University’s student learning assessment initiative. As of spring 2005, every academic program/department/division was to have established learning goals. The roster presented here represents goal statements received as of this posting. This portion of the site will be updated continuously as programs create or refine their learning goals. * The following are in Microsoft Word (DOC) format
