ASSESSMENT PLAN
As is the case each year, the CS&IS faculty will examine and evaluate the department's
assessment plan at the beginning of each school year. |
1999-2000 ASSESSMENT
The most recent academic program review team pointed out some deficiencies in the
department’s assessment program. The review team recommended that more quantitative
data be collected from graduates and that more statistically valid procedures should be
used to collect and analyze the data.Based upon these recommendations, the faculty of the department has
decided to make the following changes in the assessment procedures:
- All graduates will be surveyed 5 years
after their graduation.
- All graduates will be surveyed during the
first year after their graduation.
- A more structured instrument will be
developed to collect data from businesses and individuals who serve as clients for the
capstone seminar classes.

in the near future in light of comments that are expected to be part of the written report
of the External Academic Program Review Team. In the oral exit interviews, the team
indicated they would make some suggestions as to improving and quantifying the alumni
survey process. Other suggestions are also anticipated and will be carefully considered. |

those important assessment processes. |
