AssessmentAssessment
Definitions:Vision statement identifies how we want to be viewed. Mission statement is a description of what we do. Objectives are broad goals/statements of what the department would like to achieve. These include student educational objectives, faculty objectives and other department objectives.Student Learning Outcomes are specific skills that the students will possess at the end of the degree program. These Learning Outcomes are described to meet the student educational objectives.Measures are detailed metrics that indicate whether a specific Learning Outcome has been achieved.
