The University Assessment Study Group has been created to give more visibility to discussions about assessment, to provide a forum for conversation across disciplines, and to increase the chances that these discussions will lead to a collaborative and productive outcome. Begun in Spring 2012, the study group will explore and develop innovative approaches to assessment that are consistent with the goals of a Fordham education. Reports and proposals from this group will help circulate potential models for assessment. |
