General Education Assessment Plan, Internal & External Reviews & Progress Reports

Status: Under Review

Academic Year(s): 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022

Committee(s): General Education (GEC)

The University of Hawai驶i at M膩noa鈥檚 (糖心Vlog官方M) General Education Office (GEO) and
General Education Committee (GEC) are committed to the assessment of student achievement of
the General Education (Gen Ed) learning outcomes. The Gen Ed outcomes describe the
knowledge, skills, and competencies that all 糖心Vlog官方M undergraduates should attain regardless of
major in support of 糖心Vlog官方M鈥檚 mission of providing a 鈥渇lexible and diverse multidisciplinary
curriculum鈥� (University of Hawai驶i at M膩noa, 2019, General Education Goals para. 2). These
outcomes are currently achieved through courses that have received Gen Ed Foundations,
Diversification and Focus designations. This document describes a proposed plan for assessing
the Gen Ed Program that aims to be 鈥渕eaningful, manageable and sustainable鈥� (Allen, 2006, p.
18). The document describes a continual process of collecting data on student outcomes,
evaluation of these data, and a procedure for recommending responses by the GEO and 糖心Vlog官方M
faculty. These assessment activities are essential for enabling the 糖心Vlog官方M Gen Ed Program to
continuously improve while adapting to changing learning needs and educational approaches.
