SMALL ASSESSMENT GRANTS

Description: This grant will support individuals or groups of faculty or staff in developing and measuring student learning or development outcomes. The outcomes might be for a single course or program or for a group of related courses. The outcomes need not encompass the whole course/program, but may focus only on a single aspect, such as a particular laboratory skill or leadership skill. The assessment should produce data that can be used to make modifications that will help future students better meet your outcomes.

Amount: Up to $1000, for assessment-related professional expenses.

Eligibility: Full-time faculty members; Student Affairs staff with direct responsibility for student programs.

Questions? Contact Andrea Bakker, 9-1567, bakkerai@muohio.edu.
