Core Objective Assessment Report (Faculty)
Per the standards of the Silver Core, all Core courses will undergo cyclical reverification by the Core Board. As outlined in the Core Assessment Guidelines, this initial course assessment reports is required once within the five-year assessment cycle. Thereafter, follow-up assessment reports are required upon request.
An academic department representative may submit one portfolio (including multiple copies of this report and accompanying materials) for each of the Core Objectives that it offers - that is, if a department offers multiple CO 11 classes, the representative should simultaneously submit assessment reports for all of these classes.
Please collate this completed report (and additional copies, as needed), a copy of the assignment(s) used to measure the SLOs below, and copies of the student work assessed. Only SLOs relevant to the Core Objective(s) satisfied by your course (as stated in your syllabus) need be assessed for this report.
These materials should be sent to Diann Jones by a shared NevadaBox folder, by email, at , or held in your home department for pick up at the due date (the 8th week of the semester following the Core Objective committee response).
