| Instructor Surveys |
Two instructor surveys will be distributed.
A pre-course survey will be distributed by faculty in each area of specialization to
ensure the planned teaching schedule has adequate coverage. At the end of every semester
each instructor will provide feedback on general student preparedness and coverage of specific
teaching topics relevant to their area of specialization. General questions will focus on student
preparation, student professionalism, and facilities. Design courses will additionally be
surveyed for design content, and written and oral communication components. Each area will
design questions based on required content and coverage, with guidance provided by the ECEN
assessment committee. |
Implemented Fall, 2002. |
| Juried Student Work |
Each area of specialization is responsible for collecting artifacts
of student work (homework, tests, etc.) and evaluating the quality of student work.
These must be evaluated by a faculty committee using a rubric designed by the faculty
in each area. |
|
| Portfolios |
The faculty in each area of specialization may require generation of student
portfolios. These must be evaluated by a faculty committee using a rubric designed by each area
and are especially useful for evaluating design project and written communication. |
|
| Surveys |
These include results of Student Assessment of Learning Gains as well
as other surveys, some implemented by students. These surveys are designed to analyze a particular
course or area of specialization.: Faculty may provide documentary evidence of learning gains
through a SALG instrument. These will be standardized across the ECEN department. |
