Learning Outcomes Assessment

Not only are we committed to great teaching and learning at NLU, but we are willing to stand by our practices through the transparency of data to demonstrate the learning of our students. To this end, we ask you to always use your rubrics in your courses so that we can collect data to tell us how well our courses and assignments are contributing to learning and career readiness for our students. While we support you in modifying and improving content in your courses, as needed, there are some assignments that we must keep standardized to use for benchmarking purposes. If you are teaching a course with a signature assessment (e.g., discussion, assignment, quiz, etc.), you will be notified so you can be sure to keep that assignment "as-is," that you use the rubric as objectively as possible, and that you assertively encourage your students to complete it (even though we hope you encourage your students to complete all their assignments).
