The Committee for the Assessment of General Education (CAGE), along with other participating faculty members from OSU, developed rubrics for use in the assessment of general education. These rubrics may be freely adapted and used by faculty members at OSU for program outcomes assessment or for assessment within courses. Faculty members from other institutions are also free to use and adapt these rubrics as long as the original source of the rubric is cited. In 2014, OSU began using rubrics developed by the Association of American Colleges and Universities' VALUE Project for the assessment of Written Communication and Critical Thinking; in 2021, OSU began using its own rubric for Diversity.
