AIU has developed a unique assessment process to assess the quality of student work in several major areas throughout our program. Every class has one common assignment that is used to rate each student's abilities in Communication, Critical Analysis, and Professional Mastery or Content. These criteria are linked to course, program, and institutional level learning outcomes. The data from the assessments are used to gauge the progress of learning within our program.

Professional Mastery or Content: This assessment measures the use of appropriate, relevant, and innovative content exploring the subject matter of the course in order to solve problems and analyze current trends, theories, opportunities, and challenges. The content areas include: Programming, Database, and IT Management.

Communication: This assessment measures the students' use of straightforward language that conveys meaning to readers. The language has few errors. Sentences are correctly constructed, with few run-ons or fragments. Agreements between subject and verb, and pronouns and antecedents, are correct. There are few errors of punctuation or spelling.

Critical Analysis: This assessment measures the students' ability to evalute, integrate, and critique a variety of opinions, beliefs, abstract ideas, and data to informm judgment, identify and solve problems, and where appropriate, propose new hypotheses.
