USLO Assessment
Washburn University assesses five USLOs: Critical and Creative Thinking (CCT), Communication (COM), Global Citizenship, Ethics and Diversity (GED), Information Literacy and Technology (ILT), and Quantitative and Scientific Reasoning (QSR). Each USLO is assessed on a three-year rotation through course-embedded general education measures, and one measure targeted towards junior- and senior-level students. Course-embedded USLO individual student ratings are collected every semester for all approved General Education courses. Each course has its own specific objectives, which will vary in number between courses, but all courses include a student summary score pertaining to the students’ overall standing with regards to the course USLO. The secondary measure varies depending on the USLOs being assessed that year.
University Wide Surveys
Washburn University collects assessment information through the use of institutional surveys. With the exception of the course evaluation and graduating student surveys completed by students, these surveys are completing on a rotating schedule, focusing on different populations/topics.
