March 11, 2015: Assess Anything You Like with Rubrics
In this workshop, you will learn what rubrics are, why we create them, how they can be used to measure learning, and how to make the best use of online resources such as iRubric and Blackboard Rubrics. Make sure to bring any in-progress assignments if you want to work on them. [Intermediate Level]
March 25, 2015: Ask the Students! Design a Small-Scale Survey
Surveys can be a great way to find out what students are thinking in order to improve teaching or services. But without careful preparation, you’re likely to end up with a bunch of data that looks good but tells you squat! Come learn best practices for small-scale survey design; bring your own projects-in-progress. [Intermediate Level]
April 15 and April 29, 2015: Complete your Assessment Report

Come learn about the template and get support for completing it from the Office of Assessment and colleagues. [Expert Level, Offered Twice]
