Social Inquiry Assessment Process

The Social Inquiry (7SI) area was assessed in the fall 2012.  The assessment of the student work samples collected resulted in the following action steps.

Action Steps Taken:

  1. A revised learning outcome statement and evaluation rubric were adopted. 
  2. New outcome statement and rubric criteria will be widely distributed to faculty members teaching 7SI courses each semester. 
  3. 7SI courses will be recertified by the GE Committee in light of the new outcome statement and rubric. 
  4. In the future, specific assignment prompts should accompany student work samples that are collected for the purpose of 7SI assessment.
