CHED 102 |
| Chemistry courses at Fairmont State University are designed around student mastery of explicitly defined learning outcomes. Each course contains 30 - 60 student learning outcomes divided into exam-testable, non-exam testable (meta-skills) and laboratory-assessed categories. Mastery levels for each outcome are defined in detail, and student grades are determined by the number of outcomes mastered. Mastery status for each course outcome, for each student, is stored in Excel and transferred into a programmatic assessment database, along with pertinent test scores and item analyses from standardized tests such as the ACS standardized examinations. The detailed record allows precise assessment of strengths and weaknesses for individual students. Analyses of full-class mastery status for each outcome also can be used directly to assess and improve both the course and program. Several years' worth of data will be shared. |
