Creating Signature Assignments for Programmatic Assessment

This is a “hands-on” workshop designed to support IPFW Faculty in creating signature assignments for core courses that examine the extent to which students are achieving expected levels of learning relative to stated programmatic Student Learning Outcomes.   The series is applicable for both assessing student learning in the major and assessing student learning in general education.  It is a three session series. At the end of the series, a faculty member or academic department will leave with a peer reviewed signature assignment for their course, program, or general education.
