Assessment and Program Review
Assessment for Student Learning
What
Saint Paul College engages in a variety of assessment initiatives at our campus that are part of our commitment to excellent teaching and effective learning. Faculty and staff outline plans for collecting information to document student learning and to reflect and improve learning at the course, discipline, program, department, and college levels.
Why
评估将学生的表现与具体的学习成果联系起来. Assessing student learning helps to provide a more detailed picture of what students are learning that is not always reflected in grades, completion rates, 或者其他用户粘性数据，如使用率或满意度. It allows faculty and staff to adjust and improve based on detailed information and to observe trends on student learning over time.
Formative and Summative Feedback
Within a course, you can use Formative Assessments 及时反馈学生的表现，以帮助他们完成课程/活动. How can they improve going forward? At the end of a course, Summative Assessments to measure student achievement. 他们是否达到了学习成果中规定的目标??
How

The associated rubrics were developed using information collected through all faculty exercises at the Fall 2018 in-service, and associated rubrics were reviewed and revised by faculty through multiple feedback loops and test pilots. 最终规则于2019年春季由学院共同治理批准.
