Student Learning Assessment Toolkit

Introduction

In this document you will find sample assessment ideas that you can use to measure student learning with the student learning assessment plan. You are not required to use these ideas and you may edit or change them in any capacity to fit the needs of your class. These are not the only ways to assess student learning in a classroom, but are a jumping off point of assessing our learning outcomes.  

This guide is for people that are new to assessment or want to refresh their assessment ideas. The ideas should be attainable in a one-shot session. There are also varying levels of instructor buy-in and involvement.
