Student
Learning Outcomes Assessment
To assure
that Central Michigan University's programs are strong and
that students in them are attaining appropriate levels of
knowledge, skills, and understanding, the faculty and staff of
Central Michigan University have developed ongoing processes
to assess the learning and academic achievement of students in
academic programs.
Students at CMU should expect to participate in a wide range
of assessment activities designed to provide useful
information about the effectiveness of academic programs and the service programs that support them.
From time to time during their courses of study, CMU students
may be asked to participate in tasks to demonstrate
the breadth and depth of their knowledge, skills, and
understanding, indicate their levels of satisfaction with
services provided, and describe their learning experience.
Alumni may be asked to communicate their views about programs
in the context of their lives and their careers since
graduation. Employers also may be asked to indicate what
qualities they need and expect in university graduates and how
they assess CMU's programs in preparing students to meet their
needs.
Throughout these efforts, the concern is with program quality:
CMU faculty and staff need to ensure that students gain the
most possible from their years of study at CMU and that
programs continue to meet standards of excellence.
