Student Learning Assessment Plan

Student Learning Assessment Plan Progress Report

Each year a designated faculty coordinator in ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ University’s School of Media and Journalism (MDJ) conducts a program-level curriculum, learning, and career outcomes assessment of the School. ¾«¶«Ó°Òµgoal of this assessment is to:

• Learn about how we, as a faculty, can improve our teaching, with an eye toward applying what we’ve learned in our classrooms to benefit our students; and,
• To meet the rigorous accreditation standards set by the University and our national accrediting body, the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism & Mass Communication.

To create the Assessment Reports, the following assessment tools were used:

1. The  Faculty Survey, which asks our faculty to indicate the extent to which they teach our School’s 12 Core Values and Competencies.
2. ¾«¶«Ó°ÒµAlumni Survey. which asks alumni to rate their perceptions of our School and provide updates on their employment status. 
3. ¾«¶«Ó°ÒµGraduating Senior Exit Exam (GSEE), which is an multiple-choice test that evaluates students’ conceptual knowledge of our School’s 12 Core Values and Competencies;
4. ¾«¶«Ó°ÒµCulminating Experience Team Assessment (CETA) Survey, which asks our faculty and a small group of media professionals to evaluate how well our students’ capstone classwork reflects our School’s 12 Core Values and Competencies.
