Graduate Assessment Expectations In this workshop we discuss the program assessment process at UMaine and expectations for the 2022/23 academic year.
Graduate Program Learning Outcomes In this workshop we provided guidance on how to develop program learning outcomes that are meaningful, measurable, and manageable and are aligned to the Graduate School Learning Goals.
Curriculum Mapping Curriculum mapping is a graphical way to visualize where program outcomes are being introduced, reinforced and mastered throughout a program. In this workshop we reviewed the steps needed to create a robust curriculum map and discussed how to use it to inform curricular review.
Assessment Planning In this final workshop we reviewed the steps for building a meaningful assessment plan to make sure all your program learning outcomes are assessed over the three year assessment cycle. All graduate programs are expected to create an assessment plan by the end of this academic year.
