Assessment Details
Academic Year: 2020-2021 Level: Undergraduate
Campus Department: Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences [UG and Grad]
Program Type: Core [UG]
Program Name: Perspectives Core (Link)
Description of Data Collection:
As a program with multiple sections, the Perspectives Program leaves assessment primarily in the hands of faculty, who use a variety of assessment tools, which are periodically presented to colleagues at our workshops. The Program Director and Assistant Director review student course evaluations by students and, when warranted, reviews them with an instructor.
Review Process:
In general, assessment is collaboratively undertaken by the Perspectives Program faculty. Faculty interpret evidence and share their interpretations in workshops organized by the Director and Associate Director of Perspectives. This year the workshops were conducted in a hybrid format on May 19 & 20.
Resulting Program Changes:
There was near universal agreement that effective teaching in a pandemic is difficult. Students were under tremendous stress throughout the year. Instructor ability to assess students on an individualized basis were severely hampered by lack of proximity and face coverings. Few, if any changes, will be made on the basis of any date gathered during the 2020-21 school year.
