Our General Education Learning Outcomes state that students should be able to “Apply a variety of credible sources to support a given topic” at the time they graduate from Harper.
This past spring, the Learning Assessment Committee and its Information Literacy Work Group led an assessment of this outcome in a selection of course sections, ultimately assessing the work of more than 360 students. Thank you to those of you who participated in this assessment!
Student writing assignments were scored using a rubric. The criteria for success was set at 70% of students scoring a 3 or higher on the 4-point rubric (individual items and overall score).
Join us for the 12th Annual Assessment Conference and Share Fair on Friday, September 25, to find out the results and provide input on how we can improve students’ Information Literacy skills.
