Course Level Assessment: By Faculty, For Faculty 

Three faculty members will discuss how they use assessment in their classrooms to improve course outcomes. Topics will include how to choose what to assess, a case study of assessment leading to course improvements, and a case study of how course-level assessment can inform program-level assessment. Participants will have an opportunity to think about and plan how they might incorporate these ideas into their current and future classes. 

Specific Topics: 

1. “Aligning Assessment with Learning Outcomes: Deciding What Matters in Your Course – A Case Study from Chemistry” 

2. “Using Discrete and Detailed Assessments to Improve Course Outcomes – A Case Study in Legal Studies” 

3. “Using Interdepartmental and Course-Level Assessment to Improve Program Outcomes – A Case Study in Teacher Education”
