Welcome to the Assessment website, Pratt Institute. This website has been developed to help departments with the process of assessing student learning outcomes at the department/program and course levels. This support is designed to supplement departmental efforts, the latter of which would include in-person meetings, discussions and other methods adopted by individual departments.

Additional resources in working-draft form, are available here:
Assessment Handbook 279 Kb. PDF
Academic Program Planning Handbook 316 Kb. PDF

The website functions, primarily, in the following ways:

• It provides information about the Assessment process at Pratt Institute, such as scope, responsibility, steps to take and timeliness; guidelines, such as criteria and guiding questions;

• It helps facilitate widespread faculty participation by providing optional tools, such as WebForms to help departments collect faculty contributions; and

• It provides optional web-space and services for individual departments.

The content and functionality of the website will be frequently refined and updated.  It, thus far, contains the following sections:

01		Assessment provides information and guiding principles about the various types and levels of assessment at Pratt.
