The Office of Academic Insight supports programmatic student learning outcomes assessment across Auburn University's campus by hosting assessment events, reporting on academic degree program data, offering assessment resources and opportunities, providing reporting resources for academic degree program assessment reports, and offering help.
In order to systematically provide feedback to academic degree programs on their assessment process, the Office of Academic Insight implements an annual assessment report system that:
| Dates & Events | |
|---|---|
| April 19 - July 1 | Assessment Reports Due |
| July 19 - 27 | Meta-Assessment Institute |
| October 1 | Feedback reports distributed by the Office of Academic Insight |
Note. In 2020, 96 programs received "exemplary" status (up from 36 in 2019) indicating the programs were rated as a 3 (mature) or above on every element of the Quality of Assessment Rubric, of which 19 received a rating of 4 on every element of the Quality of Assessment Rubric.
Auburn’s Office of Academic Insight endorses a five-element assessment cycle, which is directly aligned to the Quality of Assessment Rubric and Assessment Report Template (see below) and supports student learning outcome assessment at every phase of the assessment cycle (i.e., outcome creation, curriculum mapping, research design, measurement selection/creation, and using results to improve student learning).
All academic degree program assessment reports are due by July 1 each year. Reports may be submitted as early as April 18th. Programs may choose to use the Office of Academic Insight’s Assessment Report Template, though it is not required. Reports should be submitted as Word or PDF files via the Box link below. The submission process is outlined below. Additionally, you may see our frequently asked questions page for assistance.
Your report title should follow this format: College_Program_Degree_2022. For example: LA_PsychologicalSciences_BS_2022.
Report submission will be open on April 18 and will conclude on July 1.
