Plenary Session--Understanding Outcomes Assessment
The final day of the Summer Institute focused on understanding outcomes assessment and what it meant to individual faculty. In the morning, a guest speaker addressed the group. There was a small-group activity as well as an individual activity related to assessment. The day concluded with lunch and a round-table/open discussion by the entire Institute on selected topics that tied together the themes of the Institute. Faculty had the opportunity to address questions to our round-table panel of experts.
