Annual Assessment Collection
Each year Donnelly will collect individual course and program assessment results that align with the Donnelly College Learning Outcome for that Academic Year.
At the end of each year, assessment data collected during the academic year will be collectively reviewed and discussed at each department’s Student Learning Outcome Day.
The data measured in each course then will be entered in P&SS in the AY Assessment Plan that corresponds to the DCLO for the associated year.
For Example:
2024-2025: DCLO 7. Values: Students will demonstrate moral and ethical behavior in keeping with our Catholic identity.
