The mission of the Indiana University South Bend Assessment Committee is to promote, support and monitor academic program assessment activities at the university.
Save the date! End-of Course Evaluation Workshop
We all do them, but are we getting the most out of them? End of course evaluations are a fixture at every university. How can they best be used to improve individual teaching, course curricula and academic programs? The assessment committee and UCET are sponsoring a workshop this spring to explore this topic. It will be led by a group from IUPUI who have been examining course evaluations and presenting their findings at conferences and individualized workshops. If you are interested in joining us, save the afternoon of April 2nd .
Electronic Portfolios for Assessment
The workshop on Electronic Portfolios for Assessment last April 10 introduced the many ways in which academic programs are using ePortfolios for assessment and other purposes. The assessment committee is excited about the possibilities for this powerful tool, and plans to develop an e-port site in OnCourse to serve both as an example for the campus, and for organizing evaluations and reports.

Special Note: The IU South Bend Assessment Committee has benefited greatly from the scholarship and work of many individuals and other academic institutions. In order to pass on what we have learned, we encourage other programs to make use of anything from this site that will improve their own work on the assessment of student learning. We ask only that materials that are used verbatim give credit to this site.
