ABSTRACT

Student learning assessment is an integral part of effective teaching and quality student learning. With higher education being scrutinized so closely today, it is more important than ever for a university to have an effective student learning assessment process in place. The classroom provides an excellent opportunity to measure student learning. Instructors are the key to a successful student learning assessment program. If properly implemented, an effective student learning assessment process can provide instructors with information, which will allow them to improve their course, its contents and the delivery of the material in the classroom. Educators can gain a wealth of useful information by actively participating in the assessment process.
