To assure Franklin’s commitment to providing students with a quality education, the University assesses student learning on an ongoing basis and uses the results to make changes as part of the University’s goal of continuous quality improvement. The University measures outcomes specified within each program, as well as University-wide general education outcomes. Assessment methods include both direct and indirect measures. Examples may include assessment of student assignments and projects by internal and external evaluators, examinations, as well as surveys of students, alumni, and employers.
EVALUATION OF INSTRUCTION AND SERVICES
Students are given an opportunity to anonymously evaluate their courses, instructors, and services for students near the end of each course. Completed student evaluation forms are forwarded to faculty only after final grades have been submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Evaluation results are shared through newsletters and other communication channels.
