Student Assessment Task Force The Student Assessment Task Force (SATF) serves to advance the University’s Academic Plan, Design for the Future, by fostering a culture of evidence of excellence in teaching and learning in all academic areas. Specifically, the Task Force provides leadership for and facilitation of the assessment of student learning in undergraduate and graduate academic programs.
An appointed representative from each degree-granting college serves on the Task Force, along with the Director of Institutional Research, a representative from the University’s Diversity Council, and a student representative of the Associated Student Government. The members provide a communication linkage between departments/colleges and the Provost’s office, keeping Deans, Department Chairs and Departmental Assessment Representatives informed of SATF discussions and activities as well as bringing issues and questions from departments and colleges forward to the SATF and Provost’s Office.
The work of the SATF is focused on the maintenance of a campus-wide annual cycle of learning outcomes assessment planning, implementation, and review for all undergraduate and graduate programs. Over time, academic program assessment plans demonstrate data-driven curricular and instructional changes for the continuous improvement of student achievement of defined learning outcomes.
In partnership with the Institute for Teaching and Learning, the SATF also facilitates faculty development opportunities relevant to the assessment of student learning.
