    Review

    Our key goals for Fall 2011 semester:

    1.       USE AN ONLINE OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT REPORT FORM.
    2.       Practice combining two outcomes into one task.
    3.       Diversify! Try one set of outcomes for one set of classes, then try a different set.


      Tips for creating new tasks & rubrics:

      1.       Identify which outcome you’d like to address.
      2.       Create your rubric from the bottom up – decide which ONE element is the most important for students to report (1pt), then add another element (2pts), then a third element (3pts).
      3.       Write your task to include all the elements you’ll be grading.
