Student Assessment-as-Learning

In order to evaluate student demonstration of the abilities, Alverno faculty developed the concept of assessment as a multidimensional process of judging the individual in action. In both course-based assessments and integrative assessments which focus student learning from several courses, we elicit samples of performance representing the expected learning outcomes from a course or program. Faculty and other trained assessors observe and judge a student's performance based on explicit criteria. Their diagnostic feedback as well as the reflective practice of self assessment by each student, helps to create a continuous process that improves learning and integrates it with assessment. We call this process student assessment-as-learning.
