Department of Agricultural Education & Studies

Learner Outcomes Assessment Portfolio for the Undergraduate Curriculum

How is our assessment program structured?

Each program in the College of Agriculture has unique needs, goals and resources. While we are uniform in the way we report our assessment efforts, each department is encouraged to find its own best way to assess learning and to improve from that process of assessment. The following shows:

our Assessment Team organizational chart and Program Activities Calendar of assessment activities and programs to stakeholders.
our assessment program coordinators and standing committee.
our course syllabi stating learner outcomes, and how these course-level outcomes are measured, reported and used.
how our system of data collection is sustained over time.
our annual reports to teachers and planners of our assessment program, in which the "feedback loop" is detailed.
our documented changes in learning caused by changes in curriculum, academic and support services.
how we have communicated to stakeholders the changes in learning enabled by the assessment practices of our program.
how assessment committee members work together within and between departments and programs to facilitate and improve assessment activities.
