IN THE FALL:

  • Faculty teaching Fall or January Term courses carrying one or more of the OLE Core attributes scheduled for assessment should identify an assignment that they will submit for the Intended Learning Outcome (ILO) they have been assigned.
    • You can find your ILO assignment in an email from the Assessment Committee chair. You will only be responsible for submitting student work (artifacts) from a single assignment for a single ILO.
    • Reach out to any member of the Assessment Committee for guidance in selecting an assignment or designing an effective prompt. You may also see this page for examples of assignment prompts pulled from past OLE Core assessments.
  • The Assessment Committee will begin to identify individuals to serve on rubric development teams to design scoring rubrics for the attributes being assessed that year.
    • All faculty will have a chance to provide feedback on the rubrics later in the year.
  • By the end of the Fall or January Term finals periods, submit your artifacts, assignment prompt, and rationale using the folders on this page.

IN THE SPRING:

  • Rubric development teams meet to draft a rubric and score sample artifacts to help refine the rubric. The expected time commitment for this entire process is 3 hours.
    • Draft rubrics will be shared with all faculty for comments.
  • Faculty teaching Spring courses within one or more of the OLE Core attributes scheduled for assessment should identify an assignment that they will submit for the Intended Learning Outcome (ILO) they have been assigned.
    • You can find your ILO assignment in an email from the Assessment Committee chair.
    • Reach out to any member of the Assessment Committee for guidance in selecting an assignment or designing an effective prompt. You may also see this page for examples of assignment prompts pulled from past OLE Core assessments.
  • The Assessment Committee will send out an invitation for faculty interested in participating in the summer scoring workshop.
    • All faculty are welcome to participate, regardless of whether they teach in the OLE Core areas targeted for assessment. The workshop takes place across three days at the beginning of June and faculty will receive stipends for participating.
  • By the end of the Spring finals period, submit your artifacts, assignment prompt, and rationale using the folders on this page.
