IU SOUTH BEND ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE

Fall 2008

ASSESSMENT GRANTS

Assessment Grant applications are now being accepted.  These grants, for up to $3000, are available for a wide variety of projects related to assessing student learning.   Do you need to determine if concepts required by national standards are being covered in you curriculum?   Would additional advising training for faculty help students stay and complete degrees?   Do your introductory classes prepare students for upper divisional courses in their majors?  Do you want to do a trial of a standardized test for your discipline?  Would you like to learn more about how assessment results can be used to improve your curriculum or aid in attracting students?

These are the types of questions that could be answered by an assessment project.

Applications and guidelines are available online. Please contact us with any questions.
