Subject Specific Instruction Subcommittee 
Draft Assessment Planning Process

1. Draft time frame:

April 30th: Each member will submit to Wade their list of recommended outcomes

Summer: Wade will compile and distribute a summary of the committee's recommendations

September: Committee will meet to decide on priority outcomes, begin identifying measures, and establish a time frame for the rest of the process

2. Stakeholders and how they should be involved:

Library: doing what we are doing, ie., working as a team to create an assessment plan

Faculty: checking department plans on the university's assessment pages; asking faculty to articulate their desired outcomes for subject specific sessions and inquiring whether our sessions are adequately addressing these outcomes; asking faculty if they are doing anything to assess the subject specific sessions provided for their students; and asking faculty for whom we provide sessions for if the overall quality of student research is improving.

Students: seeking student input through pre-testing of assessment tools; continually improving the assessment plan that is developed
