| Evidence of Student Learning - Internal: How will the program measure what I have learned?: | AIU has developed a unique assessment process to assess the quality of student work in four major areas throughout our program. Every class has one common assignment that is used to rate each student's abilities in Business Program Content, Effective Communication, Critical Analysis, and Research and Information Literacy. These criteria are linked to course, program, and institutional level learning outcomes. The data from these assessments are used to gauge the progress of learning within our program. Business Program Content: This assessment measures the mastery of appropriate, relevant, and innovative content in the fields of functional areas that include, where applicable: Leadership, management, innovation and teambuilding, operations and marketing, finance, economics, qualitiative and quantitative tools, technology and internet, ethical and legal issues, and international issues. Effective communication: This assessment measures the mastery of appropriate approach and purpose, organization, style, grammar, mechanics, format, presentation and delivery (where applicable). Critical Analysis: This assessment measures the mastery of the ability to analyze assumptions and evaluate evidence, complexities of issues, and alternatives and to use creativity and originality in problem solving. Information Literacy and Research: This assessment measures the mastery of the ability to select and use high quality, credible, and relevant sources to support the ideas that are appropriate for research papers, cited under required documentation (APA). The results shown below reflect student achievement for all courses within the Master degree of Business Administration (MBA). The figures represent the percentage of students who received above average (exemplary or accomplished) ratings for rubric criteria. The results are for the second quarter of 2010, with a total of 75 students in 3 course sections. Program Content = 79% |
