ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES
This section outlines the recommended components of
an assessment plan for Miami Plan courses, including
plans for department-wide assessment (i.e., as part
of Program Review) as well as for individual courses
(i.e., for new course proposals). Please keep in mind
that these are suggestions, not mandates.
The Office of Liberal Education expects and welcomes
new ideas for assessment that departments desire to
implement. Thus, this document provides you with guidance,
not prescription.
Prior to planning a department-wide assessment,
we suggest that the department consult with the Coordinator
of Assessment for ideas, methods, and approaches to
assessment (assessment@muohio.edu;
513-529-7135). Faculty who have questions about their
assesment plan for a new Miami Plan course proposal
are also invited to contact the Coordinator of Assessment.
The assessment process is much more meaningful if an
assessment approach is tailor-made for the department
conducting it.
A useful approach to assessment can be found in the
Multi-Tiered Model of Assessment, which includes three
tiers of assessment. Descriptions of each tier and examples
are provided below:
Unless you have consulted with the Coordinator of
Assessment to create an alternative plan, it
is strongly recommended
that your assessment plan include all
three tiers of
the Multi-Tiered Model of Assessment. Tier
3 assessment, which requires direct assessment
of student work, is typically the most challenging
type of assessment to conduct. To assist with Tier
3 assessment, sample learning
outcomes, sample rubrics, and sample assessment plans
and reports are available on the main Miami
Plan Assessment page.
