Assessment at California Baptist University
• Annual Assessment of Student Outcomes (ASO)• Program Reviews (every 5 years)• Long-range Planning Integration• Other co-curricular assessment• Alumni involvement in assessment• Other-constituent involvement
04/21/23 2
Schools and Departments develop SLOs for each major or program with “critical assignments” and evaluation rubrics
Students produce “critical assignments” in noted courses using pictured rubrics as guide as well as suggested formats, etc. Assignments are shared with professors for evaluation
Curriculum Map
I = Introduced; P = Practiced; D = Demonstrated
Schools and Departments complete the Curriculum Maps to link SLOs with particular courses in which specific critical assignments will be evaluated
Professors provide guidance in syllabi, and direct critical assignments based on School/Dept planning
Profs evaluate student’s critical assignments using rubrics, etc. In LiveText, the rubric results are gathered for ALL that are evaluated using that rubric
Results are analyzed & will
help identify strengths and weaknesses in curriculum, pedagogy, methods, etc.
Plans for improvement are implemented and assessment continues. External constituencies will be canvassed to validate outcomes & SLO listings.
Schools and Departments develop plans for curricular improvement.

Course/Program Curriculum Map
• A tool for a “3-dimension” look at your curriculum related to student performance
• Can be linked to evaluation rubrics
• Rubrics can be used for both formative and summative evaluation
• The SLO list should identify what it means to earn a degree in the associated program

Student Learning Outcome Evaluation
• Only about 1/5 of SLOs need to be evaluated each year.• The SLOs must have associated Means of Assessment and Measures of
Success• The Means of Assessment identify What, Where, When and How
evaluation will be done• The Measures of Success identify what level of performance must be
attained to indicate “all is well” in the program
Students produce “critical assignments” in noted courses using pictured rubrics as guide as well as suggested formats, etc. Assignments are shared with professors for evaluation
Profs evaluate student’s critical assignments using rubrics, etc. In LiveText, the rubric results are gathered for ALL that are evaluated using that rubric
