Reviewing assessment information in syllabi to ensure that:

• The course addresses at least three performance indicators in each general education SLOs.
• Assessment strategies are clearly described for each performance indicator.
• Rubrics used to evaluate the quality of student learning are systematically aligned with performance indicators and the performance scales.

Monitor, as needed, aspects of the university-wide general education assessment process and schedule. This will include:

• Identifying courses to be included in the GE assessment schedule.
• Recommending deletion of courses from the GE assessment schedule.
• Making changes, as needed, to the GE assessment schedule to ensure that each SLO is assessed.

Reviewing reports of student performance as well as information on the use of assessment results. This will lead to preparation of:
