  5. Study Abroad Waiver Evaluation Rubric • Assessment is formative as it provides meaningful feedback and opportunities for revision and improvement; • Assessment identifies clearly discernible skills and standards of performance; • Assessment provides evidence of responsible readings, critical thinking, clear communication; • Assessment engages student in self-reflection, enriches academic skills, fosters higher-levels of thinking and writing.

  6. Goals for Honors College Co-Curricular Activities: Honors College co-curricular activities foster an excitement for knowledge, a passion for ideas, the capacity to rejoice at demonstrations of creativity, and the compassion generated by a shared community. • How can we possibly assess excitement, passion, joy, and compassion? • Do we care about the student’s personal development and growth? • The ability to apply academic skills to problem-solving situations that are not generated by the formal learning environment of the classroom? • The love for lifelong learning? • The willingness to take risks and to stretch academic, social, and personal limits? • Do we want to build ethical leadership? We have to value the responses we receive to surveys, questionnaires, interviews, testimonials, observations, self-evaluations about the various co-curricular activities administered by the Honors College.
