Guide to Outcomes Assessment of Student Learning- This ‘how to' guide out of San Jose State University strives to improve student learning by asking three key questions of assessment: 1) What do we want our students to learn? 2) Are students learning what we want them to learn? And 3) How can we modify our program (or class) so that as many students as possible are successful?
