What types of learning outcomes assessment tools are there?
There are many designs and formats that can be used. Some take the form of student portfolios, others use pre- and post- tests. Some departments require a senior capstone course so that students have a formal opportunity to integrate their learning and design projects or papers to demonstrate mastery of the knowledge, skills and abilities required of their major and program.Information regarding how to choose and how to design assessment tools to meet your discipline specific needs will be shared in department meeting in the workshops sponsored by NEIU’s Center for Teaching and Learning. In addition, the CTL will provide information regarding how to design and/or refine assessment plans to make use of these tools as well as other data.
