ASSESSMENT Report & FINDINGS RUBRIC
Assessment Report Review Process
Each academic program and non-academic department’s assessment plan and report/findings are reviewed by the University Assessment Committee. Two individuals from the committee review the reports individually, then the committee co-chairs reconcile the reviews prior to releasing back to the department. The above rubrics are used to evaluate the department assessment plan, report and findings.
- A composite score of 1.5 or better is the desired score and means that a program is doing well with room for minor improvements.
- An overall score of 1 means that a program is meeting their assessment needs, but has room for considerable improvement.
- A score of less than 1 means that a program is not conducting acceptable assessment and is in need of a revised plan.
