About the Evaluations
The Masters Coordinating Committee (MCC) is responsible for program evaluation of the MN and MS degree programs. MCC works in conjunction with Academic Services (AS). The overall plan includes assessing student competency at entry into the program, at the end of the program, and at specified intervals following graduation. Multiple sources of evaluation data are used, including students, faculty, graduates, and work supervisors of graduates. MCC reviews the program evaluation data annually. When indicated, MCC appoints work groups to address areas of desired curricular change.
The MN and MS degree programs are evaluated by five tools designed to measure specific outcomes related to the program's curricular objectives and major curricular threads (MN Objectives; MS Objectives). Outcomes were derived by examining each program's curricular objectives in relation to major curricular threads. Three or four outcomes were selected to evaluate each of the five curricular objectives since evaluating all 30 outcomes in the matrix was not feasible. The specific expected program outcomes are displayed in a matrix where the curricular objectives are listed horizontally and the curricular themes, vertically.
The three steps in the masters program evaluation plan are the End of Program Evaluation, the Scholarly Inquiry Scale, and the Clinical Scale. The End of Program Evaluation is completed by the student as a general survey. The other two elements are completed by the student's committee chair and clinical faculty. The Scholarly Inquiry Scale is designed to evaluate qualities of the written report and/or oral presentation of master's thesis or scholarly project. The clinical scale is designed to evaluate the overall clinical competence of master's students.
Graduates complete the Alumni Follow-up Questionnaire and their supervisor complete the Colleague Evaluation. Both questionnaires will be mailed to all MN and MS graduates in the first, third, and fifth years after graduation.
