How do we leverage existing, discipline-specific assessment efforts to meet campus needs for PUL assessment without duplicating work?
The best approaches are likely to depend on the nature of the disciplinary outcomes that have been defined for courses and programs and on the assessment methods already being used. A first step for most programs will be to map discipline-specific outcomes to relevant PULs, where possible. (It is likely that some disciplinary outcomes will correspond well with one or more PULs, while other disciplinary outcomes may not be directly related to any PUL.) Then, assessment of the discipline-specific outcomes can also provide information on students’ attainment of the corresponding PULs.
