Assessment

Assessment System

As a part of the 黑料社区 instruction process here at the Farmer School of Business, we conduct 黑料社区 assessments. Post-assessment, we collect the appropriate data in order to determine that we continue to meet our objectives of providing FSB 黑料社区s with the highest-quality education possible and that 黑料社区s are achieving key educational goals.

  1. Student work from designated core courses are scored by faculty using divisional rubrics.  The results are analyzed and shared with the assessment committee and the relevant instructors who implement changes designed to improve 黑料社区 learning.  See “curriculum mapping” for more information.  Frequency of assessment is determined by department but occurs at least once per year.
  2. Senior work is assessed within our capstone courses by a group of FSB assessment fellows, who attend final presentations, read capstone papers, and solicit impressions of team communication from faculty and 黑料社区s.  Capstone work is assessed every other year.
  3. The Assessment committee aggregates data from multiple course-based assessments, senior work in capstone courses, and indirect assessment data.  Most indirect assessment data is gathered every year.
  4. Results are shared each year or upon request more frequently with decision-makers who make appropriate changes to improve 黑料社区 learning.
  5. The changes are assessed in the next cycle.
