In the tripartite division of faculty work, the assessment of professional service has received less attention than research and teaching. This workshop will present a definition of professional service, ideas for collecting and analyzing evidence to document a service dossier, and criteria against which service can be evaluated as a form of scholarship. Though grades alone are often not useful for assessment, the grading process, when well conducted by faculty, yields valuable information about student learning that can be used for general education and department assessment. This workshop shows how such a plan may be implemented, including how the feedback loop may be closed at department and institutional levels. In a Financially constrained environment, faculty and student development professionals increasingly are interested in comparing the costs of different approaches to their work.
Cost is an important component of any program assessment.
In this workshop participants will help to build a small ABC model.
