Assessment

Quality Enhancement Plan

Direct assessment will use the UT Tyler Real-World Problem Solving Rubric, which was adapted from the AAC&U Problem Solving VALUE Rubric. The proposed direct assessment efforts are modeled after current and ongoing assessments of the Core Curriculum at UT Tyler. Interdisciplinary faculty scoring panels will be convened on a semesterly basis to assess artifacts, assessing approximately 30% of all collected artifacts. The orginal QEP proposal included six student learning outcomes (SLO) and based on feedback from faculty have been modified to two SLOs, beginning with the 2024-25 academic year:

• SLO 1: Students will be able to solve discipline-specific problems in real-world contexts.
• SLO 2: Students will be able to evaluate their problem-solving process to identify what was learned and what could be improved.
