TOPIC
DISCUSSION
Report from
HLC meeting
Perspectives for assessment -- keeping it simple (simplifying rubrics); less
reliance on standardized exams like CAAP (results not as informative, but
does provide benchmarks); embedded assessment = capturing data from
course level for CLOs. VALUE project of AAC&U = 14 rubrics, will
eventually have benchmarks.
Computer Literacy – Committee decided to go ahead with purchase of 120
$10 gas cards. If there are extras, they will be used later. Capstone courses
have been selected; faculty have been notified; Cathy Craig is coordinating
release of e-mails with e-tickets for the assessment.
