Assessment

Assessment is a critical component of higher education that informs teaching, enhances student learning, and ensures academic quality. It involves systematically gathering and interpreting evidence to determine which learning goals have been achieved (Brookhart, 2013). A robust assessment system not only measures student performance but also shapes how students learn. By engaging students in the assessment process and providing timely feedback, faculty can foster a deeper understanding of course content and develop essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This page provides guidance and resources to support faculty in developing and implementing effective assessment practices.
