Description
ABSTRACT Accrediting bodies, including AACSB, have aggressive standards that require universities to assess student learning. Many institutions initially responded by developing multiple measure plans that assess general satisfaction of instruction within a major, student performance on a nationally normed business knowledge exams, and curriculum content and coverage through the use of focus or stakeholder groups. Unfortunately, these multiple measure plans do not adequately assess student learning goals specific to the university's program, nor do they provide direct information that would help a faculty member improve student learning in his or her course. Because of these drawbacks, many universities are now turning to Course Embedded Assessment (CEA) as their primary method to assess student learning. AACSB standards specifically identify course-embedded measurement of student learning as one of three approaches that can be used to achieve their Assurance of Learning Standards. This paper describes the Course-Embedded Assessment process and provides examples of how it can be used to assess student learning in business disciplines.
