At UWSP, the assessment of student learning is intended to provide the foundation for all academic planning and decision making. The ultimate goal of assessment is to ensure the continuous improvement of student learning as well as the courses, programs, and policies that make it possible.

The review and evaluation of assessment results is the responsibility of the Assessment Subcommittee, which resides under the Faculty Senate’s Academic Affairs Committee. Over the past couple of years, the Assessment Subcommittee has received Faculty Senate’s approval to suspend the receipt of regular program assessment reports while it works with academic departments to revise the assessment process and review cycle. To review the timeline for this revision, see the link at the right.

As part of these changes, the Assessment Subcommittee is sponsored a three-semester series of workshops called the UWSP Assessment Academy. These seven workshops were designed to assist departments in improving their evaluations of student learning.

 

Beginning Fall 2011, the new reporting cycle will resume, and selected departments will once again begin submitting assessment reports to the Assessment Subcommittee.
