Professional Competencies

Assessment

This presentation contains audio;

please ensure your speakers are turned up.


Notes:

Much like Course Level Assessment (CLAs), Assessment of Professional Competencies (PCs) is done using the Learning Outcome Manager (LOM) tool.

Assessment scale is in alignment with CLAs and General Education Literacies (GELs).

Professional Competencies Assessment


Notes:

Scoring rubrics for each PC outcome show what is expected to achieve each level of mastery. Students receive feedback from their instructors that is specific to the assessment, so they can track their progress and be successful. The PC score is an evaluation of students’ achievement in mastering course outcomes and is independent of the grade on an assignment and in the class.


Notes:

Under the “View Gradebook,” Select Gradebook View area, choose a Unit to be graded.

In this example, “Unit 1: You Can Do It” is chosen, and the “Go” button selected. Note, that for the two students in the course, there are currently no grades posted.
