Welcome to the Mike Curb College of Arts, Media, and Communication
Assessment Resource Center (ARC). The purpose in establishing the
Center is to provide faculty and administrators with anytime, anywhere
access to helpful information, archived materials, and direct linkages to
assessment tools, assessment
strategies, and more.
Assessment is a powerful influence on student learning as well as a
profound influence on teaching and pedagogy. To quote Mary j Allen,
director of CSU’s Institute of Teaching and Learning:
“Assessment is a framework for focusing faculty attention on student
learning and for provoking meaningful discussions of program objectives,
curricular organization, and student development.”
This 2006-07 academic year was extremely productive among the 5
departments within the Mike Curb College of Arts, Media, and
Communication. It was a challenge for many departments but the rewards
out way the struggles.
I welcome you to skim through the links to see the many resources and
information this site provides. If you find any problems or have
suggestions please contact me (the director but also webmaster of ARC).
In addition, please do not hesitate to inquire on assistance in your
assessment process. I will do my best to help you make the assessment
experience valuable and rewarding.
Regards,
Paula DiMarco, Ph.D.
Director of Assessment
