Office of Institutional Effectiveness
Advanced Assessment Methods
There are a number of resources available for departments that want to do more in-depth
studies of specific outcomes such as writing or critical thinking over multiple semesters.
The website links below provide information on larger scale projects implemented by
other institutions. Assessment coordinators can contact The Center for Faculty Excellence
and work with Instructional Designers to identify and receive training on how to use
technology such as Pearson's My Writing Lab, and Qualtrics Surveys to carry out assessment
activities. Assessment coordinators can review the proposal requirements for OIE Assessment Grants to determine if their project would qualify for an OIE Grant. Dr. Melissa Jordine
is available to discuss possible grant proposals and to work with departments who
want to access basic statistics such as graduation rates for their majors using the
Tableau Dashboards created by OIE data analysts. Department Chairs and Assessment
coordinators can also contact the Vice-President for the Office of Institutional Effectiveness,
Dr. Angel Sanchez to discuss working with OIE to carry out a case study.
