This process, based on the collection of student papers from History 300 and History 698 worked very well. The professors who taught these classes graded the exams according to the rubric written into the Department(s assessment plan. The Policy Committee examined the syllabus for each class, the papers the students turned in, and the final grade for each student. We have discovered that the research paper and book review are excellent tools to use to evaluate Learner Outcomes. This process was reviewed by the History Department(s annual retreat in August 2005. The plan for the Department is to continue to rotate the professors assigned to teach these courses. Consequently, all new faculty hired to teach in the department will be required to offer these courses within our rotation. That way, neither course will be taughtby the same professor over and over. Since neither History 300 nor History 698 is offered during the summer school, the next Department assessment was in December 2005 after the end of the fall semester. At that time, the Policy Committee met with the Chair to review folders. We decided then that the next major assessment process would take place at the end of spring semester in 2006. One change the Department of History made during the 2005/2006 academic year was a re-evaluation of the Assessment Plan. In particular, we decided to investigate and explore ideas related to Goals #2 and #3. Under the heading of (Learner Outcomes,( the Department, represented by the Policy Committee and Chair, met to ascertain that students who enroll in History 300 and/or History 698 earn a (C( or better for each paper assignments for these classes. A student had to complete at least one assignment to include in the assessment. Last year, we thought that a review of the grades students earned on the assignments in History 300 and/or History 698 each semester would be a workable plan. The percentage of students who receive a passing grade in both courses seems to justify this plan as a valid assessment tool, particularly since the courses are taught by different faculty on a rotating basis. The History Department meets annually for a Retreat before the fall semester begins. In August 2006, we as a Department reviewed our plan. Our decision was to continue the same process for at least one academic year. One change we did incorporate, however, was to eliminate the (Date of Graduation( from our assessment grid. We also reviewed the assessment plan at our Retreat in August 2008. There we discussed the process, during which time all who have taught the required courses during the academic year offered input. They suggested or recommended no changes. In spring 2009, the policy committee will decide to continue the process begun in fall 2006 for another year and then re-examine the process.
