5 ASSESSEMENT PLAN The assessment plan includes three parts: 1. The plan description (This should be a brief written description of the assessment plan(s) for the area/certificate/degree/discipline. If all outcomes are not shown in item #3 below as assessed in the 5 year cycle, this description must include information about their eventual assessment 2. The student learning outcomes for the area/program/discipline for the 5 year cycle. 3. The assessment cycle timeline 1 Plan Description 1810/outcome #4 Fall 2012/Spring 2013: Continue to assess outcome #4 to obtain baseline data 1492/outcome #3 Continue to assess outcome #3 using refined method to obtain better baseline data. 2 Provide the list of current student learning outcomes for this area or program (you may add more lines if necessary by right clicking and choosing insert row below): 1 Employ critical thinking skills to judge the validity of information from a scientific perspective. 2 Apply the scientific method to formulate questions, analyze information/data and draw conclusions. 3 Properly operate laboratory equipment to collect relevant and quality data. 4 Utilize mathematical techniques to evaluate and solve scientific problems. 5 Communicate effectively about scientific ideas and topics, in both oral and/or written formats. 6 Relate science to personal, social or global impact Assessment Report Page 5 of 6 4/17/2012
