📋 Overview

Welcome to the documentation supporting the Assessment Compliance Report at USF!

...

1. Approved (2022 and beyond), Compliant (2017-2021), Developed and Highly Developed (2016-2017): All elements of the Plan/Report meet the USF Assessment Standards

2. Reviewed with Comments (Minor Revisions) (2022 and beyond), Non-Compliant 1 (2017-2021), and Emerging (2016-2017): Minor revisions would be required to bring the document into compliance. These often include but are not limited to: including the total number of students assessed, ensuring that some form of inter-rater agreement data is collected or planned to be collected for assessment methods with a subjective scale (such as a scoring rubric for a project), and not including specific action items resulting from the use of the assessment results.

3. Reviewed with Comments (Majors Revisions) (2022 and beyond), Non-Complaint 2 (2017-2021), and Initial (2016-2017): Components are missing from the document or are entirely outside the scope of commonly accepted good practice. Examples of major revisions needed are the use of the phrase “we will continue to monitor this outcome” in the “Use of Assessment Results” section of an Assessment Report or the exclusive use of course grades or course passing as the “Methods of Assessment” section of an Assessment Plan.

4. On Hold/NA: There are no students available, or, there is another reason that has provided an approved delay in submission.

Welcome Page: This page briefly describes the content of the Dashboard. There are no filters enabled on this page.

Majors: This page contains information related to the compliance of assessment submissions from the 2022 Report and 2023 Plan for the academic majors of USFAY22-23 Status: College Level Summary is a snapshot of the number and percentage of programs' 2022 Reports and 2023 Plans with each rating. The page can be filtered by College and Program Category (Bachelor, Master, Doctoral, Graduate Certificate, Undergraduate Certificate, Specialist) to provide additional detail. By hovering Hovering over the “slice” of the pie charts that are of interest, specific numbers of programs will be shownwill display the number of programs with a particular rating within that filtered group. The total number of Majors listed will be the same for the 2021 2022 Assessment Reports and 2022 2023 Assessment Plans, and any programs that have been or were in the process of termination, the process of being established, or had no enrolled students during that period will be indicated with the “On Hold” designation. To see the specific programs rated as “Non-Compliant 1,” “Non-Compliant 2,” and “On Hold,” see the “Non Compliance List” page. Certificates: This page contains information related to the compliance of assessment submissions from the 2021 Report and 2022 Plan for the credit-bearing graduate and undergraduate certificates of USF. The page can be filtered by College to provide additional detail. By hovering over the “slice” of the pie charts that are of interest, specific numbers of programs will be shown. The total number of Certificates listed will be the same for the 2021 Assessment Reports and 2022 Assessment Plans, and any programs that have been or were in the process of termination during that period will be indicated with the “On Hold” designation. Another common reason that the “On Hold” designation is applied is that there are no students enrolled in the certificate or the specific component of the certificate (i.e., course) that is being assessed. If this is a frequent occurrence, it is often recommended to the program to assess achievement of a learning outcome in a course, despite certificate-enrolled students, to support that if a student does complete the course, the extent to which they will have achieved the learning outcomes. To see the specific programs rated as “Non-Compliant 1,” “Non-Compliant 2“Major Revisions,” “Minor Revisions,” “Missing,” and “On Hold,” see the “Non Compliance List” List of Non Compliant Programs page.

Non Compliance List: This page contains lists of all programs assigned the Non-Compliant 1, Non-Compliant 2, or On Hold ratings for the Assessment Reports or Assessment Plans. It is important to note that these programs might be struggling with enrollment, so resourcing recruitment might be a valuable addition for allowing USF to continue offering the program to its students.

Longitudinal: Longitudinal Status: College Summary includes a timeline view of the distribution of ratings for Reports from 2018 - 2022. This page contains an overview of assessment compliance from the 2017-2018 academic year (for academic year colleges)/calendar year 2018 (for calendar year colleges) to the current year. The proportion of Compliance to Non-Compliance over time is a valuable tool to help identify the extent to which faculty have been able to produce assessment materials.

List of Non Compliant Programs includes a list of the programs assigned a non-approved/non-compliant rating. It is important to note that these programs might be struggling with enrollment, so resourcing recruitment might be a valuable addition for allowing USF to continue offering the program to its students.
