Temptation

![Page 9: Standard Five NWCCU Workshop on Institutional Self-Study Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center Seattle, WA February 1 – 2, 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082611/56649eef5503460f94bff80c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Instead, look for dataand reference points
• Internal operating standards & goals
• Business plan and/or strategic plan
• User surveys, focus groups, formal observations
• Notes on meetings with faculty and students
• Pre- and post-tests, classroom faculty member’s assessment of student research for assigned papers
• Other
