FAQ's - Assessment Issues

• Assessment - what's in it for the students?
  
  A: Each year data from assessment of the four Baccalaureate Competencies will be used to "fine tune" the General Education Program, at the program/major level, the unit/department level, the college level, and at the university level. While those students being assessed may not receive any direct benefit from the process, future students will have the advantage of an improved baccalaureate education.
  
  
• What impact does a poor assessment have on a student?
  
  A: Individual student assessment ratings will have no impact on grades or graduation status, although the assessment of a student may be shared with that student at the faculty member's discretion.
