Ideally you will coordinate with your department through all of these steps and define:

  • Who is doing the assessment?
  • In what courses, or in what assignments?
  • How will you compile the data?
  • How will you engage faculty and students in the process?

Submit your reports!

The annual assessment report is due every October and should address at least one of your PLO’s.

The 3-year report is due every third year of your annual assessment reports, and should ideally include assessment data from all of your PLO’s.
