During the orientation, their scores are explained to them. During the first few days of every class the syllabi are explained and all include an assessment section. It is, therefore, possible for a student to pass on to the next level in some classes, but not all. Grades are assigned on the basis of criterion referenced course exams, assignments and projects appropriate to the individual class, and a final exam, also criterion referenced. Students who have successfully completed all of level 4 classes may begin study in their major fields.
Instructors assess students for a mid-term report.
Students' USU official and unofficial transcripts give individual course results. The IEP meets the standard. No action is necessary. The IEP has a clearly articulated plan for regular review and modification of its assessment and reporting practices. Also, IELI has weekly staff meetings at which time review and modification of its assessment and reporting practices may be part of the agenda.
