Institutional Assessment (repeating what Gregg Nettesheim and I sent out two weeks ago)
 
You can find your assessment roster in public folders by following this path:  All public folders/initiatives(Colleges-wide)/Assessment/Assessment Rosters/ENG
 
Using an assignment from the last few weeks of the semester, assess each student using the appropriate rubric. If your assessment roster is for Literature or Creative Writing, you will be using the following rubric:

D2. Critically reflect upon a work of art

Exceeds Expectations

The student initiates and sustains a discussion of the creative contexts the author or artist has worked in and the creative choices made

The student confidently and fluently uses discipline-specific language to support critical reflection fully informed by engagement with the work

Meets Expectations

When prompted, the student engages in a discussion of the creative contexts the author or artist has worked in and the creative choices has made

The student capably uses discipline-specific language to support critical reflection informed by engagement with the work

Does Not Meet Expectations

The student resists a discussion of the creative contexts the author or artist has worked in and the creative choices has made

The student is unable to use discipline specific language to support critical reflection informed by engagement with the work

 

If your assessment roster is for ENG 102, you will be using the following rubric:

Exceeds Expectations

Argument has a clearly stated conclusion

Everything within the argument is directed toward supporting the final conclusion

Argument utilizes a reasonable degree of evidence appropriate to the conclusion

Argument expresses a thorough understanding of the complexities of an issue

Argument anticipates then effectively responds to likely counterarguments

Meets Expectations

The conclusion of the argument is reasonably clear although there may be some ambiguity about the precise nature of the conclusion

Most of the argument supports the conclusion but there is some extraneous material

Argument is supported with some evidence appropriate to the conclusion

Argument acknowledges some complexities connected with an issue

Argument acknowledges some potential counterarguments then offers at least some indication of potential responses

Fails to Meet Expectations

The conclusion of the argument shifts and changes as the argument progresses

A significant portion of the argument offers no real support for the conclusion

The argument relies heavily on emotional appeals as opposed to evidence and reasoning

Argument oversimplifies a complex issue presenting everything in black and white terms

Argument ignores obvious counterarguments

A3. Construct an argument in support of a conclusion

 

If your assessment roster is for ENG 098 or ENG 101, you will be using the following rubric:
