Assessment at Truman

Truman uses assessment data to allow the University to get a clear picture of where Truman students and faculty are excelling as well as where they need more assistance. In an effort to remind the campus of what is assessed at Truman and where they can find the assessment results, the assessment committee will be highlighting several of assessment topics in the next few weeks.   

The first assessment topic is the Student Interview Project results. In 2012, “multiple back-to-back assignments and tests in different classes” was the No. 1 cause of academic stress for Truman students, with 88 percent of students reporting that it caused high amounts of stress. Specific data related to this interview project, as well as other interesting facts about how Truman is doing via the Assessment Almanac, can be accessed at assessment.truman.edu/almanac/index.asp.
