“You mean I don’t just have to assign grades?”

While even the newest professors probably don’t have that misperception about student assessment, most are surprised by the importance, scope and complexity of the assessment process.

With an impact on everything from funding to accreditation, and offering myriad approaches and methodologies, student assessment is far from “as easy as A, B, C.”

You can get an exceptionally clear and valuable introduction to the issue in the online seminar, Getting Started With Student Learning Assessment: 2008. Led by Linda Suskie of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, this 90-minute presentation takes a detailed look at fundamental assessment issues including:
• What assessment is.
• The role of assessment in the teaching/learning process.
• How to articulate learning outcomes.
• How to review curricula for alignment with expected outcomes.
• How to identify and implement teaching strategies to help achieve outcomes.
• Who the audience is for assessment results and reporting.

During the presentation, you’ll be introduced to a wide range of assessment methods and perspectives, learn their strengths and weaknesses, and discover under what circumstances they are best applied (and best avoided). Ms. Suskie examines the:
• Internal standards-based perspective
• External standards-based perspective
• Peer-referenced perspective
• Best-practice perspective
• Value-added perspective
• Longitudinal perspective
• Strengths and weaknesses perspective
• Capability perspective
• Productivity perspective
