Abstract:

Heartland Community College has begun piloting an asssessment system called The Gradebook Project. This project takes advantage of grading that faculty already do to create more meaningful assessment data. This demonstration of an assessment process will show how faculty can take existing course assignments, projects, and exams and disaggreate the grading process to aquire assessment information that pertains to student learning outcomes at the course level. Once grading is organized in this way, the information can then be easily reorganized or reaggregated to address student learning outcomes at the department and/or general education level. Finally, this reorganized grading information can be shared with students to provide them with more focused and specific feedback that tells them about their perfomance levels on specific learning outcomes which can supplement a single, holistic, course grade or a college wide GPA measure.
