Assessment Oversight through Shared Governance
The Assessment Subcommittee advises on the continuous development of the UMD assessment process including both academic and other educational programs. The committee serves as a resource for student learning assessment activities across campus and facilitates interdisciplinary groups to review student learning assessment reports, data and activities. (UMD Bylaws, 2017)
Each year, the Assessment Subcommittee works on assessment-related initiatives to improve upon campus assessment practices, reviews various campus assessment reports, and provides findings to the Teaching and Learning Committee, other shared governance committees, and administrators.
