BW Core Assessment

At the University Level, the learning goals are represented by the UNDERGRADUATE LEARNING OBJECTIVE FOR THE BW ADVANTAGE CURRICULUM.  These are assessed yearly by the Assessment Committee following the ADVANTAGE CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT PLAN AND SCHEDULE.   The process used to assess the ULOs is call our Assessment Palooza.  Student Artifacts for the designated ULOs to be assessed for the year are collected in the fall and spring semesters then analyzed by teams of faculty members during the day of Assessment in May. The resulting data are then analyzed and reported by the assessors, Assessment Committee and presented with an Action Plan to the Core Curriculum Committee.
