IU South Bend Assessment Grant Final Report Format

Within one month of the closing date of the Assessment Grant, the grant recipient should submit a final report to the Assessment Committee and to the IU South Bend Office of Research.

The report should:
1. Be submitted in an electronic format, and be suitable for posting on the assessment website, (i.e. all individual's names should be deleted)

2. State the name of the grant, the department that received the grant, and the principal faculty involved in carrying out the grant.

3. Be one to three pages in length. (If the assessment grant was part of a larger project, or has been published in another format, the longer report can be attached to the assessment committee final report.)

4. Should answer the following questions:
a. What were the results of your assessment project?

b. How will these results be used to improve your program's assessment of student learning outcomes, (i.e. changes in educational goals, changes in assessment techniques, increases in participation of stakeholders or changes in record-keeping and communication?)

c. Will the work started with this assessment project be continued, if so, how?

d. How are the results of your assessment project being shared with department faculty, students, IU South Bend faculty and other appropriate groups?
