Adjust Outcomes and/or Assessment Tools
Plan & Results >
Assessment plans are malleable. Common reasons for making changes include:
- Easily meeting, or woefully missing, the assessment tool target year after year
- Recognizing that a program outcome is missing from the assessment plan, or has become obsolete
- Existing assessment tools are not adequate to fully meaure whether an outcome is being met
- Need to show how program outcomes map to the univeristy mission
- You don't care about a result, or about the whole assessment plan; if this is the case, what do you care about, and how might you measure it?
