Creating an Assessment

  3. Select the 鈥Collective Student Score Entry鈥 option at the top of the box. (to score individual students, see Handout - How to Create & Complete Individual Student Assessments). Collective assessment means you will only report numbers of how your class section did as a whole.
  4. You can now enter an assessment name, assessment description and assessment type. It is important to make these names meaningful. It will help when finding your assessments later. It will also be helpful to have meaningful names if you share assessments with your colleagues. They will easily know what is being assessed.

  11. After you link your SLO(s), you have 2 options of saving your assessment. You can click the button that says 鈥Save鈥 to use this link for your classes only. If you click 鈥Save and add to Library鈥, your colleagues will be able to see and use the assessment you created. Once you have saved your assessment, they will be available to enter assessment data. You do not need to recreate your assessments each semester or each year. Caution: Verify that you are in the correct assessment prior to entering data because the assessment cannot be deleted once data has been entered. If you share the assessment, and then decide you want to delete it, seek assistance from the Assessment Committee Co-Chair.
