Assessment of Student Learning
Colorado Mesa University is committed to providing quality education for students across all disciplines through a supportive learning environment. Assessment of student learning is a process used to measure student progress in the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful after graduation. All students will participate in the process by engaging in assessment activities through submitting course assignments, taking examinations, completing surveys and/or writing standardized tests. Evidence collected through assessment assists faculty in program improvement at the certificate, undergraduate and graduate level.
Student learning at CMU is centered on specialized knowledge and applied learning in the discipline as well as the intellectual skills of communication fluency, quantitative fluency, information literacy, personal and social responsibility, and critical thinking. Assessment also involves student learning at the co-curricular level in a variety of areas. Data gathered will be evaluated in aggregate form and reported to respective members of the CMU community as well as accreditation organizations. Assessment is a key element to improve teaching and learning, and to enhance the quality of programs at the University.
