E. Assessment of Student Learning Plan

All programs are expected to measure student learning outcomes annually and to measure all

program student learning outcomes at least once over one, two, or three assessment cycles. Each

unit determines which of its student learning outcomes to assess during an assessment cycle.

Describe the program’s one, two, or three year plan for assessing program-level student learning

outcomes by addressing 1 thru 4 below.

1. Student Learning Outcomes Matrix

[Insert all student learning outcomes that will be assessed by the unit over the next one, two,

or three assessment cycles.

Relationship to UNM Student Learning Goals (insert the program’s SLOs and check all that apply):

communicate effectively in writing.]

2. How will learning outcomes be assessed? (Address Ai thru Aiii individually or complete

the table below)

A. What:

i. For each SLO, briefly describe the means of assessment, i.e., what samples of

evidence of learning will be gathered or measures used to assess students’

accomplishment of the learning outcomes in the three- year plan?

ii. Indicate whether each measure is direct or indirect. If you are unsure, then write

“Unsure of measurement type.” There is an expectation that most of the assessment

methods/measures will be direct measures of student learning with at least 1-2

indirect assessment methods/measures.

iii. Briefly describe the criteria for success related to each direct or indirect means of

assessment. What is the program’s performance target (e.g., is an “acceptable or

better” performance by 60% of students on a given measure acceptable to the
