• Two of our faculty have spent a significant portion of their careers recording the progress of our majors as they enter, pass through, and exit our program.

• Their data will be used to give us an idea of how well our majors are informed of many post-baccalaureate opportunities available to psychology majors.

Standardized Tests

• Three members of the Undergraduate Committe are currently creating a set of standardized tests to be administered to majors at several stages of their undergraduate careers to measure their mastery of the contents and methods of psychology.

• These tests can be administered with our IQUIZ testing program, which allows students to take the tests online at any time.

Capstone Skills Templates

• The School of Science has adapted a rubric that will allow instructors in capstone courses to assess their student's ability to exhibit the University's Principles of Undergraduate Learning.

• The Psychology Department may also create a similar rubric to assess its seniors' abilities to master its unique SLOs.

Individual Course Data

• Many psychology faculty have collected assessment data in their indiviual courses to make data-informed decisions that can improve teaching and learning.

Student Survey Data

• Faculty often request student feedback about pedagogical techniques to determine their perceived effectiveness.

Paper and Electronic Portfolios

• One capstone seminar requires the creation of a "Professional Portfolio" in which students collate evidence of progress toward their post-baccalaureate goals.

• The University is currently creating an Electronic Portfolio that students may use to provide proof of competence to potential employers and graduate school admissions committees.

Senior Exit Essays

• The School of Science requires graduating seniors to write essays that describe how successfully they have accomplished the University's Principles of Undergraduate Learning.

• The Deprartment could also require its seniors to write a series of similar essays about specific departmental SLOs during their final IQUIZ test.

Alumin Surveys

• IUPUI's Office of Information Management and Institutional Research administers surveys to alumni designed to collect their perceptions of a wide variety of curricular and extracurricular topics.
