What support does the university provide to help me create GER student learning outcomes and identify means of assessing the outcomes?
The Division of Undergraduate Affairs sponsors a set of three-part voluntary workshops to help faculty develop GER assessment materials. Workshop 1 provides background related to GER assessment and guides faculty in creating outcomes and identifying student assignments for measuring those outcomes. Workshop 2 focuses on changes in the Course Action Form and the syllabus requirements regarding GER assessment and leads faculty in making appropriate changes in both. Workshop 3 provides guidance in making sense of assessment data and in writing assessment reports. Each workshop runs for approximately two hours. Dates and times for workshops are available. Also available are Power Point slides for the workshops and a web tutorial for creating GER assessment materials. For assistance in course syllabus construction and teaching strategies for helping students achieve learning outcomes, check the Campus Writing and Speaking Program and the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning.
