Assessment

Both formative and summative assessment and feedback are critical components of teaching and learning.  

 For students, well-designed assessments and regular feedback: 

• Ensure that their learning aligns with outcomes that are critical for success 
• Help them to track progress toward course goals and objectives -- and adjust their learning strategies when necessary 

For faculty, a well-designed assessment strategy: 

• Provides solid evidence of student success  
• Can be a source of useful data for making mid-course adjustments -- and for identifying what is working and should not be changed.
