4E.06 FACULTY PARTICIPATION IN ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING (FSB 16011 approved by President 5/9/2017)

Emporia State University strives for the highest quality in its academic programs. Therefore, faculty members should ensure that expected course learning outcomes align with the corresponding faculty-determined program’s learning outcomes as developed collectively by the program’s faculty members. All faculty are expected to assess their students’ attainment of those expected outcomes, to report faculty-determined assessment results as appropriate, and to use assessment information to improve learning.

4E.07 PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH SYLLABI (FSB 03011 approved by President 4/12/04; FSB 10003 approved by President 11/29/2010; FSB 14015 approved by Interim President 7/22/2015; FSB 18001 approved by President 10/10/2018)

For each class taught, faculty will make a syllabus available to students within one week of the start date of those classes as listed in the University Class Schedule. For courses that meet less than a full semester, a syllabus will be made available by the second class day. Furthermore, all syllabi must include statements regarding the course’s learning outcomes (aligned with the corresponding program learning outcomes where appropriate), the criteria set forth for grades (Plus/Minus Grading System), student accommodations for disabilities (Student Accommodations Statement in Syllabi), the commitment to providing an inclusive environment in the classroom (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Syllabus Statement), and how acts of academic dishonesty will be handled (Academic Dishonesty Policy). In addition, if excessive absenteeism affects a student’s grade, then the syllabus must include a statement about the manner in which excessive absenteeism affects the grade (Student Conduct and Effect on Grade).

Once you have thoroughly reviewed the paragraphs you may take the quiz.
