SLO Assessment Report for First Year Seminars
The purpose of Student Learning Assessment is to provide a continuous improvement process through meaningful
assessment of student learning. Results from assessment of student learning guide collective actions for curricular change,
better learning opportunities for students, improvement of teaching, and more effective academic support services.
This semester, the instructors of each First Year Seminar course will submit a completed SLO Assessment Report for the
students in their course by January 11th, 2016 to Don Saucier at saucier@ksu.edu.
