Based on departmental assessments, student learning in this domain was (check one):
Worse than last year
Equivalent to last year
Slightly better than last year
X
Moderately better than last year
Dramatically better than last year
Cannot be compared (this is the first year for this assessment)
Describe the direct measure used to assess student learning in this domain (e.g., answers to questions included on
an exam, performance on a paper or project scored with a rubric, etc.)
Jury exams and Junior and Senior Recitals.
If you observed changes in student performance on this measure when comparing the two years, briefly describe (in
one or two sentences) the nature of these changes.
Students are more prepared understanding the student learning outcomes in each area of applied study. Specific
literature and technical requirements at each year of study and unified departmental standards continue to insure
programmatic and student success.
Use of Assessment Data for Making Decisions. Describe the process used in your department to evaluate
assessment evidence and make decisions (include dates of relevant department meetings if known). Describe the
decisions made to improve student learning in your program. Describe how these decisions are related to the
assessment evidence collected by your department.
We are fortunate within the music discipline in that jury examinations, sophomore advancement exams, and junior
and senior recitals provide assessment evidence throughout an individual students program of study. The entire
department is involved in grading each of these target exams and capstone projects. In a given semester over 70
jury examinations, 15-20 junior and senior recitals, and 6-10 advancement exams are processed by the faculty.
There is always an open dialogue within the faculty as grades are calculated. Each faculty member assigns a
numeric grade (11=A, 10=A-, 9=B+, 8=B, 7=B-, etc…) which is then averaged to obtain the final grade of a given jury,
advancement exam and recital. In addition to this numeric grade each faculty member provides written comments to
the student adjudicating their performance. Both the numeric grades and the comments become a permanent part of
the students record and a means for continued assessment of their progress and the department’s success in
delivering its curriculum.
Use of Assessment Data for Improvement of Assessment Procedures. Describe any changes made to
assessment methods. Explain the relation between these changes and the information obtained from previous
assessments.
The faculty voted unanimously to round .7 calculation averages on juries, advancement exams, and recitals to the
next highest whole number (grade).

Department of Music General Education Foundation Rubric and Assessment Plan
The Department of Music has three courses in the General Studies Curriculum:
MUH 2930 Music Experience: Film Music
MUH 2930 Music Experience: Concert Experience
MUH 2110 Music in Western Civilization (online course)
The two domains that Music Department
has agreed to measure as the contribution to Academic Foundations:
Music Department:
CREATIVITY
Explains unique contribution
Identifies relevant criteria for evaluating success
Assesses quality of creative response accurately
EXPRESSION OF CULTURAL VALUES
Identifies core cultural values
Compares personal values between self and others
Strategizes about the role of differences in values that
contribute to different perspectives
A. The Department of Music continues to provide assessment data of two of our three General
Education course offerings in Fall of 2007. The Chair met with the two full-time faculty members
associated with these courses agreeing upon the rubric, the two domains, and sub-domains.
Though the subject matter and course delivery are very different with each course, we were able
to utilize objective multiple choice testing identifying specific test questions that would supply the
assessment data. Provided below are two detailed assessment reports from the Department of
Music for the Fall 2007 assessment.
ASSESMENTS FOR ACADEMIC FOUNDATION:
MUH 2930 Music Experience: Film Music - FALL 2007
Brief description of the Basis of Performance: The questions from the mid-term exam and the final exam.
Because these are online exams multiple choice and true false questions were used. Therefore, the students either
meet the expectation or fail to meet the expectation. It is impossible to judge if they exceed the expectation with
multiple choice and true false questions.

How will these results influence your course design next time?
This class was statistically very close to last year’s class in the area of creativity. The third item (Assesses quality of
the creative response accurately) was down by 6%. This may be due to the fact that the class was almost 30% larger
(30 more students). I will emphasize the quality of the music more and how to judge the quality of the music. The
second item under expression of cultural values was down 4%. Again, probably due to the larger class, but I will
stress the idea of the movie better.
How did the changes I made from last years assessment (2006) affect this class?
This year I lectured more before the movie “To Kill a Mockingbird” about racism and how we react to people with
disabilities. For some reason, the class apparently did not make the connection to the movie. Next semester, I will
put more emphasis on how the plot addresses these issues.
What recommendations can you make to the department to improve the quality of this experience for future
students?
The course works was taught once in the Mainstage Theater and works beautifully there. Every effort needs to be
made to get this course back in the Mainstage Theater. An institution wide attendance policy (ie. drop a student on
4th absence) would help.
ASSESMENTS FOR ACADEMIC FOUNDATION:
MUL 2110 Music in Western Civilization - FALL 2007
Brief description of the Basis of Performance:
For this assessment, I used the results of the three quizzes and the final exam from my on-line class Music in
Western Civilization. The format of multiple choice questions allowed me to determine whether the students met or
failed to meet the expectation.
Summary of the Students Performance - students enrolled: 92

How will these results influence your course design next time?
Because of my addition of many more quiz preparatory questions, this survey demonstrates students’ progress in the
weakest area so far: their ability to resolve such complex sociological tasks as 1) strategizing about the role of
differences in values that contribute to different perspectives; 2) and comparison of personal values between self and
others. Starting this coming Summer, I am going to use the newest edition of the “Music: An Appreciation” textbook
by Roger Kamien. The resulting change in the format of the course and the new quiz question library will reflect my
experience with the past three Academic Foundations Assessments.
What recommendations can you make to the department to improve the quality of this experience for future
students?
My one remark applies not to the Department of Music directly, but rather involves another University unit:
I would like to see the dramatic positive change in the University Bookstore’s ordering practices: despite this faculty’s
best efforts and numerous inquiries, it is often an unknown at the beginning of a semester if the Bookstore had
indeed acquired the correct number of correct textbooks with all the necessary CDs and CD-roms.

MUSIC
Mission Statement
The Department of Music offers a personalized education at the baccalaureate level to
equip students to perform at professional levels and to think critically as musicians and
educators. This personalized education is augmented by numerous performance and
ensemble opportunities. The department sponsors musical performances both alone
and in conjunction with the theater and art departments to reach out to both the
university and the community.
Student Assessment
Students are expected to achieve levels of competency representative of their level of
study in applied music. Jury exams are required each semester to assess student
progress and constitute 50% of the final applied grade. Admission to the Junior Level
(Advancement Exam) must be approved by the faculty at the end of the sophomore
year. All students must perform juried recitals; performance majors present a junior and
senior recital, music students in the teaching track present a senior recital.
