Assessment Happens Fall 2015

Thursday, August 20, 2015
Abstract: 

Based on the evaluations of prior Assessment Happens (AH), the SAAC co-chairs (on advice of the committee) implemented several changes to the Fall 2015 AH, including: 

  • Faculty-generated as opposed to "expert delivered" examples of instructional improvement
  • A system for storage and easy access of these suggestions (see attachment)
  • A continuous improvement cycle model based upon: 1. Conduct AH ==> 2a. feedback gathered from participants ==> 2b. SAAC input/suggestions ==> 3. Planning for next AH ==> 4. Implementation of suggestions at next AH
  • Reduced use PowerPoint
  • Coffee!
  • During faculty CATS workshop, administrators met to provide improvement suggestions for SAAC/SAAC co-chairs
  • Modification of Jeopardy (e.g., eliminate "jumble" clues :) )

Based upon the most recent evaluation of Fall 2015 AH, the goals based upon prior evaluations were met and satisfaction was generally high (see attached).

Completed Full Cycle: 
Yes

Erik and Pete, Thanks for putting this into the CATS so we can refer to it and learn from it. I am always looking for improvements on giving student feedback. Olga
