Assessment of student learning outcomes at Shawnee state university (SSU) is a natural extension of the institution's commitment to excellence in teaching and learning. It is a process of critical examination with the aim of improvement in co-curricular and academic programs. SSU engages in on-going, integrated, and institution-wide research, and good practices-based assessment processes that (1) result in continuous improvement and (2) demonstrate that the institution is effectively accomplishing its mission..
Student learning outcomes are the knowledge and skills expected of students completing an academic or co-curricular program. Student learning outcomes are written in clear statements that describe significant and measurable change occurring in students as a direct result of their interaction with the institution and its co-curricular and academic programs.
The provost will ensure the establishment of procedures necessary to effectively implement this policy. The procedures will clearly describe the role of faculty, co-curricular staff, and the provost's office, and the procedures will utilize SSU's existing shared governance process, including but not limited to the faculty senate and its committees. These procedures will be revised and developed based upon the recommendations of the university faculty senate and any relevant subcommittee of the senate.
