Higher education experts claim that student learning can be improved by focusing attention on developing course-specific "learning outcomes" and assessing those outcomes. The results of the assessment -- the data -- are then interpreted by faculty to determine what improvements can be made in the course to enhance student learning. The "student learning" movement has made its way into accreditation requirements nationwide. Consequently, Professor Tibisi is required to develop, assess, and report on student learning outcomes. He developed several student learning outcomes, developed assessments for each (typically in the form of short answer questions), and reported on the results. He expected students to have mastered certain core concepts in chemistry, but the assessment results were disappointing. He decided to change his assessment method (to multiple choice quizzes), which improved the results by 10%.
