More Details

You are invited to join a group of colleagues who will be reading and discussing Assessing Student Learning: A Common Sense Guide, by Linda Suskie.

According to the publisher’s website, “Assessing Student Learning is a standard reference for college faculty and administrators, and the third edition of this highly regarded book continues to offer comprehensive, practical, plainspoken guidance. The third edition adds a stronger emphasis on making assessment useful, greater attention to building a culture in which assessment is used to inform important decisions . . . and many new resources.”

Participation is limited; if you are interested in joining the group, please register as soon as possible.

This book group will be facilitated by Leah Lyons and will meet two times:

March 19 and 26

3:00-4:00 PM

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.

If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
