UW-Madison’s General Education Requirements –Communication, 3 to 5/6 credits: Part A and Part B –Quantitative Reasoning, 3 to 6 credits: Part A and Part B –Breadth, credits, distributed over three areas Students are required to complete the following breadth requirements: –Natural Science, 4 to 6 credits, consisting of one 4- or 5-credit course with a laboratory component; or two courses providing a total of 6 credits. –Humanities/Literature/Arts, 6 credits –Social Studies, 3 credits –Ethnic Studies, 3 credits

Why do we do assess General Education? Goals: Are we achieving the goals for gen ed set out by faculty? Quality: Are we doing the best we can for our students? Resources: Are we making the best use of scarce resources? Baseline data, articulation, awareness. Accreditation: An increasingly important element in institutional accreditation.

General Education Assessment Plan, 2003 NOTE: We are not assessing individual instructors or students, sometimes not even individual courses. This is program level assessment Long-range planning. Main goal is articulation and assessment of student learning and related outcomes. Areas: Communication, Quantitative Reasoning, Breadth, ESR. Developmental: Future work with ONSP, LEAP.
