GenEd Assessment
Shared Responsibility for GenEd Assessment
In accordance with the GenEd assessment plan, which was
mandated by the Bloomington Faculty Council and created by
the faculty members of the General Education Committee, the
responsibility for ongoing assessment of the General Education
Program is a campus-wide endeavor, shared by departments,
schools, instructors, and the General Education Monitoring
Subcommittee (GEMS).
GEMS set up a five year, rolling implementation:
2011/12 Foundations
2012/13 World Languages and Cultures
2013/14 Natural and Mathematical Sciences
2014/15 Arts and Humanities
2015/16 Social and Historical Studies
