Since 1997,
the Department of
Mathematical
and Computer Sciences at CSM
has had in place a departmental assessment plan. During the first year, a set of
departmental goals and objectives were developed. The next step was the creation
and implementation of an evaluation plan. Finally, a series of evaluation
instruments were developed and implemented. This plan is regularly
reviewed and has undergone two major revisions, one in 2002 and another in 2007.
Implementation of the most recent revised plan began in January 2008.
Additionally, an evaluation plan was implemented for the graduate programs in the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences. The goals and objectives and an evaluation plan were developed specifically for a graduate level assessment in March 2008.
Assessment Instruments Common Student Exams and Finals The following Mathematical and Computer Science courses have a common syllabus and common exams and finals. This means that all students, across sections, complete the same exam and final and that these exams are scored using a common scoring technique. These are referred to as the coordinated courses. Coordinated Courses in Mathematics Calculus for Scientists & Engineers I Calculus for Scientists & Engineers II Calculus for Scientists & Engineers III Differential Equations Probability & Statistics for Engineers Coordinated Courses in Computer Science Programming Concepts (C++) Data Structures Closing the Loop Feedback How the Mathematical and Computer Sciences Department has used the information acquired through assessment to improve courses. |
