The focus of the data collection is to answer the question, “Can the program demonstrate the level to which students have attained the anticipated student outcomes?”  The evidence of student learning is then used to identify student strengths and weaknesses related to each of the student outcomes for the purpose of making decisions about how to improve the program teaching/learning processes.  This evidence should be the product of faculty reviewing and/or observing student work related to the program requirements.

At program level assessment, the focus should be on the learning that has resulted from the cumulative experiences in the program.  This is progressive as students learn, practice and demonstrate their learning as they progress through the curriculum moving from simple to more complex concepts and skills. 

Each course syllabus should outline the learning that should take place in that course. The course is organized around a series of activities designed to engage the students in learning related to what is indicated on the syllabus.  At the end of the course the faculty member evaluates how well the students learned based on their total performance in the course.

To provide evidence of student outcomes for the program, the data that should be used is the data that is collected in the course where the experience is summative. 

Principles of a well-constructed process to enable continuous improvement are: Principles of a well-constructed process to enable continuous improvement are:

Focus of the continuous improvement process (Criterion 4) should be on the assessment of the program, not the assessment of individual students.

Focus should be on the cumulative learning of students and not the assessment of individual courses.

Student outcomes should be defined in order for faculty to have a common understanding of the expectations for student learning and to achieve consistency across the curriculum.

The program does not have to collect data on every student in every course to know how well it is doing toward the attainment of student outcomes. 

The program does not need more than one data point on each student in the program cohort to determine if the performance has been met.

The program does not have to assess every outcome every year to know how well it is doing toward the attainment of student outcomes. This creates an unreasonable overhead for faculty and the result is massive data collection systems that produce data that is not informative

The focus should be on continuous improvement based on information for decision making, not just data collection (i.e., data ≠ information)

The program Continuous quality The program Continuous quality improvement process would contain the improvement process would contain the following:following:

A continuous timeline of activities (not all activity is data collection). Possible question:  “What is your data collection and evaluation timeline?”

Define performance indicators for each student outcome with faculty consensus. Possible question for faculty: “How do you define your outcomes so that the faculty is assessing them consistently across the program"

Systematic data collection that focuses on summative performance related to the indicators. Possible question:  “Where do you collect the data that is evidence of the summative learning of students?“

Summative results will have a single data point for each performance indicator for each student. Possible request:  “Describe how the data being presented were collected.”

Data that is collected enables faculty to identify student strengths and weaknesses related to the outcomes. Possible question: “I see that X% of your students have attained outcome Y. What were the strengths and weakness of their performance?”

Evaluation process focuses improvements on areas of student weaknesses and is communicated to faculty. Possible request: “Describe how the proposed actions improved student learning (or are anticipated to improve student learning) related to the weaknesses that were identified.
