Additional Highlights
The robust dialog that we as a Department have engaged in has enabled us to redress our overall assessment procedures, revise our course outlines and syllabi, and create an on-going and more fluid way to monitor our teaching methodology. Furthermore, students are more engaged in communicating their learning process in our classes and realizing the stated learning outcomes.
