The University of Idaho, along with all other
public institutions of higher education in Idaho, is required by
policy of the State Board of Education to assess student learning
in general education and in the academic majors. In late 1991, the
Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, which provides
institution wide accreditation for the university, issued similar
guidelines requiring assessment. Effective teaching and learning are essential to meeting our long
held goal of producing responsible, well-prepared citizens and
leaders in their professions. Our program of student outcomes
assessment has been implemented to ensure that we continually
improve the teaching and learning process and the programs
supporting that process. |

Information vital to effective assessment includes student
performance as well as student opinions on the quality of
university academic programs and services. To provide this
information, students may be required to participate in assessment
activities. These may include, but are not limited to,
examinations, performance assessments, interviews, surveys, focus
groups, and follow-up studies after graduation. Student based
information is used for assessment at the programmatic level. |
