assessment advisory committee

The purpose of the Assessment Advisory Committee is to advise the executive director of the Center for Assessment and Research Studies regarding procedures and practices of assessment on the campus of James Madison University. 
The AAC should periodically:

• Review the procedures, processes, and assessment instruments pertaining to first year and late sophomore/early junior assessment days; 
• Review the reporting of assessment data to students;
• Review the external reporting (e.g. SCHEV) of assessment data off-campus;
• Suggest ways for better use of assessment data in APR, accreditation, C&I processes;
• Review implementation of competency requirements for on-campus applications such as General Education and for off-campus such as for the community college articulation agreements;
• Suggest ways for better display of JMU program learning objectives, description of assessment instruments, results, and reported uses of results.
• Offer general recommendations regarding improvements to campus assessment practice.
