Developing Graduate Program Outcomes and Outcomes Assessment Plans - These workshops are designed to help Directors of Graduate Programs or other designated graduate faculty members work with their colleagues to develop graduate outcomes assessment plans. The September workshop will focus on developing objectives and outcomes for a graduate program. The October workshop will focus on developing assessment measures for each outcome and creating an assessment schedule. Each workshop will be repeated twice to accommodate MW and TTH schedules. Led by Dr. Michael Carter, who conducted a very successful pilot program on graduate program assessment in the spring of 2004, these workshops will give participants hands-on experience in developing assessment plans and in entering these plans into web-based templates.
