Academic Assessment

ASSESSMENT MEASURES

A measure is a method used to gauge achievement of expected results. Measures include learning activities that can be used for assessing the expected level of student learning and providing data for analysis. For each student learning outcome, there should be multiple direct measures – minimum of two (2). However, indirect measures may be used to complement direct measures. The use of multiple measures provides a balanced representation of the program, support for similar conclusions, and adds validity to decisions made regarding action plans for improvement.
