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.

ASSESSMENT PALOOZA 2027 IS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 12, 2027.

2026-2027 ULO ASSESSMENT INFORMATION

Student Artifacts (papers) that are assessed at the palooza will be collected from all Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 courses that map to ULO4, ULO5 and ULO8. Instructors that teach a Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 course that maps to these ULOs will be emailed assessment instructions at the beginning of the semester.
