Assessment Plan Indirect methods: Senior Surveys, annual, where students self assess learning outcomes related to program learning objectives. Alumni Survey, every 4 years, first in 2016, where alumni self assess learning outcomes related to program learning objectives. (first graduating class in Direct methods: Academic awards, annual, won by students. Graduate school and professional positions gained by graduates, annual. Faculty Course Reflective Memos- Faculty Course Reflective Memos in courses selected by Undergraduate Committee each year. Reflective memos require that faculty write course learning objectives, align them with PLOs, review student assessments (exams, papers etc.) for each course objective and whether students achieved objective, and describe planned course improvements for those course objectives not achieved. Undergraduate committee will authorize that reflective memos be completed in AY in five core Public Health courses required of all four majors: Intro. PH I, Intro. PH II, Concepts in, Public Health Ethics and Intro. US Health System. In later academic years, faculty in other required courses taken by single majors will be asked to complete reflective memos.
