Using Assessment Results for Program Improvement

The best use of assessment results is to share them with faculty and use the information as a tool for facilitating discussion about the continuous development and improvement of the curriculum or degree program. Assessment information should be used to justify things that are working well in the program or curriculum and to identify areas for development or improvement. Assessment information is of little value unless it is shared with appropriate audiences and used in meaningful ways (Palomba & Banta 2000).

Uses for Assessment Results include:
  • Determine changes in course content
  • Justify addition/deletion of courses or changes in course sequences
  • Determine changes in degree requirements
  • Facilitate curriculum discussions at faculty meetings and retreats
  • Guide changes to the advising process
  • Justify curriculum changes and show program improvement resulting from those changes
  • Refine existing assessment methods or implement new ones
