Faculty first determine what learning goals are appropriate for a class or program of study. Faculty then determine the measurable objectives that comprise each learning goal. (Some disciplines combine goals and objectives into learning outcomes.) Faculty collect information that shows to what extent an objective was achieved. This information can be quantitative or qualitative. The collected information is analyzed and discussed to determine what it means with respect to what is taught, how it is taught, and how students are engaged with that content and teaching methods. The result of the analysis and discussion is feedback to the course, program, college, school, or university about what needs to be changed and what is working particularly well and should not be changed. Based on that feedback, curricular and programmatic changes are made. At this point, the assessment cycle begins anew. Each college/school, department and co-curricular oversees their assessment of student learning for their area. The specific assessment reports for the college/school, department and co-curricular include educational outcomes and assessment plans. The reports section is password protected to internal staff and faculty only. The Annual Assessments Policy and Procedures statement provides additional details.

Cambria Bold Assessment of student learning is the process by which we come to understand if students are accomplishing the learning goals and outcomes we set for them. Assessment occurs at the course, program, college, school, and university levels. Whether assessment is formative (occurring during the process of learning) or summative (occurring at the end of the learning process), it provides information about what students know, what students can do, and what students hold of value. Assessment of student learning is a faculty-led process with support from the administration. Photo caption goes here. Photo caption goes here. Photo caption goes here. In conjunction with Creighton University's participation in the Academy for the Assessment of Student Learning, six university-level outcomes were derived from two years of review and reflection on each school and college's mission statements, strategic planning documents, accreditation reports, and stated student learning outcomes. In summary, the six university-level student learning outcomes state: All Creighton graduates will demonstrate: 1. disciplinary competence and/or professional proficiency, 2. critical thinking skills, 3. Ignatian values, to include but not limited to a commitment to an exploration of faith and the promotion of justice, 4. the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, 5. deliberative reflection for personal and professional formation, 6. the ability to work effectively across race, ethnicity, culture, gender, religion, and sexual orientation.
