Meeting Summary 6/23/10

We finished all the case studies reports today! We also had a discussion about the questions that we want to have answers to as a result of our assessment. We kept track of some concerns/issues that came out of the discussion on the gen ed page in our wiki. One issue is which students in which courses will be the target of the assessment so that we can show "value-added" for Communication skills, Teamwork, and Social Responsibility from the educational experience students receive at PAC. Next we looked at a model for doing the assessment that was a balance between reliable (same outcomes) and valid (program faculty create the descriptions for the rubric categories for each outcome and faculty choose the assignment that will be the target for the assessment).
Finally, we explored the resources on the North Carolina State Assessment site in our competency groups to get ideas for our competency outcomes that will work across disciplines.
