Description
Description: This session will be a rich opportunity for the JUHAN faculty, staff, assessment specialists, and other participants to discuss and share their experiences in the area of student learning assessment. The session will start with JUHAN's presentation of the learning outcomes and assessment tools they developed, which include the cognitive learning objectives, affective learning objectives, rubric traits, the vignette, survey, and reflection prompts. All of these tools are described in the JUHAN Assessment toolkit, copies of which will be distributed to the attendees. Participants will then be invited to share their own experiences in assessing student learning in courses relating to humanitarian action and social justice. Thus, presenters and participants will enrich their own assessment practices in this interactive session.
