Assessment is a cyclical process. For many programs at 抖阴旅行射, the foundation for conducting assessment is already in place. The assessment cycle supports a continuous process of improvement by planning, implementation, assessing and reporting:
- Plan: The planning phase determines 鈥� in advance 鈥� what a program would like to achieve and how it will measure whether their efforts were successful.听 There are several key elements to the planning phase, among them:
- Implement: The implementation phase consists of letting faculty and staff do what they are great at! For example, designing and teaching course material as part of the implementation phase.
- Assess: The assessment phase collects and analyzes听data to determine whether the efforts from the implementation phase were successful in achieving the targets set in the 鈥減lan鈥� phase.
- Report: The reporting phase presents the assessment results and, most importantly, follows up with actionable 鈥渘ext steps鈥� for program improvement to help achieve the program鈥檚 targets for the next assessment cycle.
