  5. Tip #1: Start with the 4-column report • Print it out for the last 3 years • Look for the best places to focus your work • Evaluate where you’ve been, and where you need to focus your attention currently and in the future

  6. Tip #2: Build a strong nest! • Learning outcomes (in the Plan), along with supporting documents (assignment descriptions and the rubrics used to evaluate them) • Results (in the Results section, nested under the learning outcomes) – include results Excel files (don’t identify students by name) • Action (nested under the result – should have an action if the data didn’t meet a criterion) • Follow-up (nested under the Action, usually a semester or a year later, after the action has been taken)

  7. Tip #3: Be a parrot • When you want to keep repeating common language, put that language into a Word doc, copy and paste from it when entering results

  8. Other helpful tips • Why do birds fly south in the winter? • Because it would be a really long walk! • Use your wings! APAC reviews occur every 5 years – Use the analysis in your Program Review • Verify there’s been improvement since your last APAC review • Birds of a feather flock together • Use the Assessment office for help! • Don’t put all your eggs in one basket • 3 to 8 measurable learning outcomes • Rotate the evaluation of these on some schedule (don’t try to do it all every year) • At least 2 direct measures for each outcome
