Every OSU degree program must have an assessment
plan that describes expected student learning
outcomes
for the
degree program and the methods used to evaluate student
achievement of those outcomes.
Basically,
an assessment plan articulates what faculty expect
students to know and be able to do upon degree completion,
identifies appropriate tools for evaluating the extent
to which students are achieving those outcomes, and
describes how faculty will act on the resulting information.
An assessment plan describes how faculty evaluate
student achievement of the program's expected learning
outcomes and use that information to work towards
continuous improvement of their academic program.
Annual plans should be written using the guidelines provided here in Microsoft Word format (save to a local drive):
