Make assessment "simple, cost efficient, and useful...." Barbara Walvoord ~ Assessment Clear and Simple

Welcome

The Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, the Faculty Senate Assessment Committee, and the Assessment Coordinator jointly are responsible for assessment initiatives at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls. These units work together to support assessment efforts, and to ensure that assessment is being used for program improvement. This web site is intended for department chairs, assessment coordinators, and others who engage in assessment activities at UWRF. The assessment office also functions as a central location where assessment-related information can be found.

Assessment of student learning is a high priority for the University of Wisconsin - River Falls. UWRF has seriously worked to develop a culture of assessment where programs actively engage in continuous improvement of student learning on a regular basis. All programs on campus have submitted an assessment plan, which has been analyzed by the Faculty Senate Assessment Committee and Assessment Coordinator. These efforts contribute to the institution’s mission to “help students learn so they are successful as productive, creative, ethical, engaged citizens and leaders with an informed global perspective.”
