Student Learning Assessment Reports in Business Administration
Student learning assessment reports require that faculty, department chairs, and deans: 1) identify the student learning outcomes in their degree program; 2) establish methods that can assess their student learning outcomes; and 3) use the results of their assessment in the decision making process regarding their curriculum and curriculum delivery in a way that maximizes student learning opportunities. To demonstrate how assessment data are being used to continually improve on courses and programs, each report documents a profile of the program, student learning outcomes, curricular mapping, direct and indirect measures of assessment, and how data are used for continuous improvement.
