General Education Assessment

During AY 2014-15, FSW initiated a revised assessment of the General Education Program. Throughout the process, the AAC&U Value Rubrics and one in-house rubric were utilized to score voluntarily submitted artifacts. Beginning in AY 2017-18, courses which were identified by faculty of that discipline as “Integral” can be randomly selected to provide an assignment which the instructor feels is appropriate to meet that competency for General Education Assessment for that year. This random selection plan was developed by the Learning Assessment Committee (LAC). The random selection and outreach to instructors occurs in mid-to-late September of each AY.

The next cycle of general education competency assessment is to assess the “Communicate” and “Evaluate” General Education Competencies during AY 2024-25. In the assessment plan, courses which were identified by faculty of that discipline as “Communicate” or “Evaluate” at the integral level can be randomly selected for General Education Assessment during Fall 2024 as part of the AY 2024-25 assessment plan. Under the new plan outlined by the LAC, if a course is listed below it means that one or more sections of the course may be randomly selected to provide an assignment which the instructor feels is appropriate to meet that competency. The random selection and outreach to instructors occurs in the 3rd week of September.
