Academic assessment is pivotal to ensuring UNO's academic programs are meeting Student Learning Outcomes. The academic assessment process aims to enhance student learning and facilitate the continuous improvement of UNO's academic programs.
The Academic Assessment Committee, in partnership with UNO's General Education and Dual Enrollment programs, offers assessment mini-grants to support faculty and programs interested in examining and revising their assessment practices.
The Center for Faculty Excellence offers excellent resource materials on Assessment. Designing Effective Assessment, Introduction to Rubrics, Assessment: Clear and Simple and many other books are available to faculty at the CFE office located at 113 Eppley Administration Building.
Internal program reviews are an integral part of UNO’s assessment and planning processes for the unit, college, and university. Every academic program offered at UNO will be reviewed at least once within a seven-year cycle.
