Why do we engage in academic assessment?
As educators we belong to a culture of scholarship. As scholars we are committed
to academic excellence. The goal of academic assessment is not to simply
evidence of student excellence, but to use that evidence to improve
student learning. The target of academic assessment is the program curriculum.
The truly important things that we want students to achieve are the result of a
curriculum in which students' skills, knowledge and abilities are fostered, nurtured
and reinforced systematically throughout their college experience.
