Assessment Details
Academic Year: 2020-2021 Level: Undergraduate
Campus Department: Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences [UG and Grad]
Program Type: Major [UG] / Program [Grad]
Program Name: Political Science BA
Description of Data Collection:
The revised process builds on the traditional instruments of assessment – faculty self-assessment, grading averages, and course evaluations. We now have added two additional instruments – senior survey and random faculty evaluations
Review Process:
The responsibility in general lies with the Undergraduate Committee. More specifically, the Undergraduate Committee has established this year a seat dedicated to the assessment process. The UC assessment head is charged with collecting and organizing the data obtained from respondents to the senior survey and the random faculty evaluations, and with processing the data to show general results, trends, and comparisons. This general process of assessment is overseen by the Undergraduate Director and the Department Chair – who combine to write up a report for the administration as well as to share with the faculty – along with recommendations for areas of improvement.
Resulting Program Changes:
We have only instituted the new assessment instruments this past year, and therefore we do not have a base to make comparisons with. But the process is ongoing at this point, and soon we will begin have accumulated more information from which we can see trends and make comparisons.
** A summary of the findings from the Random Faculty Evaluations and the Student Survey are included in an appendix. [See attachment]
