Prepare an itinerary for the External Reviewer for the day of the visit. Please send a copy of the itinerary to the Office for Academic Affairs before the day of the visit. The initial letter to the Reviewer from the Associate Vice Chancellor will ask that a written report be sent to Academic Affairs within three weeks after the visit, addressing strengths, weaknesses and recommendations. The Associate Vice Chancellor will immediately send a copy of the Reviewer report to the Chair of the Department. The educational goals should be consistent with the mission statement of the department.
Educational goals have multiple purposes.
No single person or department can adequately assess every aspect of every program. The dimensions of teaching, research, and service need to be addressed. Intended outcomes should be specific in terms of areas of knowledge, behaviors, attitudes, skills, appreciations, etc., that graduates of the program will be capable of demonstrating. Survey research typically involves satisfaction measures for faculty, staff, community, etc.
