General Education Assessment

The February 22, 2012 meeting of the General Education Committee reviewed key assessment strategies for the 2011-2012 academic year. Faculty focus groups and individual meetings highlighted four widely discussed methods: Course-level Assessment (CAFS), Embedded Test Questions, General Education Rubrics, and National Testing Instruments such as ETS and CCLA. The committee examined distinctions between national and local assessment tests, noting the varying time intensiveness and peer comparison aspects. The meeting aimed to enhance faculty involvement and improve learning outcomes through comprehensive assessment.
