Table 1. Documentation that learning outcomes are incorporated into the curriculum for all undergraduate and graduate
programs.
In the table below, state the expected learning outcomes from the Program-Level Assessment Plans and then list the course or courses,
including prefix, number, and title, in the Relevant Courses column that address that expected outcome. If 3 or more courses address
an expected learning outcome, list only 3 courses that are most important for students to achieve the expected outcome.

Table 2. Discussion of the methods used to assess the learning outcomes as well as the instruments used to assess the
attainment of learning outcome goals by undergraduate and graduate programs.
For each degree program, provide a brief discussion of the methods, including specific instruments, used to assess student learning
outcomes. The Program-Level Assessment Plans, submitted in December 2005, list the methods of assessment for each expected
outcome. In the boxes below describe those methods of assessment. If national standardized exams are used state the name of the
exam. The information in Table 2 should be an overview description of the methods used. If specific assessment instruments (or
assessment rubrics) need to be developed to conduct an assessment, then clearly indicate what is still needed and when those
instruments will be used (which should be Fall Semester 2006). The boxes will expand as information is added to the box.

Table 3. Summarize the data collected and evidence of the use of results of those data
For each degree program, describe the data that has been collected to date and indicate how the results of the data analysis have been
used. It should be noted that in some cases, the results will indicate that at this time the expected learning outcomes are being achieved
and there is not a need to change or improve a program. However, it is unlikely that all data for all programs indicate that no
improvements are needed. If no data has been collected for a degree program assessment, indicate that is the case and provide a
justification for the lack of data and a detailed discussion of how data collection will begin in the Fall Semester 2006 and be reported
in the next Annual Assessment Report.

grades as outcomes assessments; (3) add performance of students on
