IV.       Example of How Department Used the Assessment of Goals and Outcomes

     to Change/Improve a Process

 

 

The athletic department realized that more useful information could be gathered to evaluate the effectiveness of the tutorial program and to make future decisions about the program. Currently, we consider primarily whether a student athlete receiving tutoring successfully completes the course for which tutoring is needed. Beginning fall, 2002, the department will consider several factors such as previous semester grade in a similar course, course grade at the time tutoring begins, subsequent test/assignment scores, and final grade in the course to assess the effectiveness of the tutorial program. Beginning in the 2002-03 academic year, the athletic department and Faculty Athletic Committee also will consider the results of various university and NCAA reports such as GPA’s for student athletes, Academic Standing by Classification, and Graduation and Retention Rates to assess the academic tutorial program and the department’s adherence to the educational purpose of the university.
