General Education Outcomes Assessment

General Education Outcomes Assessment in Nuventive follows a structured process designed to support institutional goals and ensure consistency across departments. The General Education Committee sets the outcomes, and faculty assess student learning within designated General Education courses.

Tip: Use the quadrennial summary to reflect on long-term trends and provide meaningful feedback to the General Education Committee.

How to navigate the workspace and complete assessment for General Education courses.

Navigating the Workspace

To begin:

• Use the drop-down menu to select your General Education Course and Department
• In the left-hand menu, choose Course General Education Outcomes Assessment

You’ll also see related sections in the menu:

• GEC Quadrennial Feedback
• Printable Reports
• Documents Library – functions like other workspaces and stores supplemental documentation

Completing the Assessment

Once you’ve selected your course:

• The General Education outcomes should already be present in your workspace
• You do not need to create new outcomes—these are set by the General Education Committee
• Open the outcome using double-click or the ellipses menu
• Proceed through the assessment steps in order:
  1. Methods
  2. Findings
  3. Quadrennial Summary

Each step builds on the previous one—methods must be entered before findings, and findings must be entered before completing the quadrennial summary.

Quadrennial Summary

The Quadrennial Summary is reviewed by the General Education Committee and should reflect four years of assessment data. Use this section to:

• Provide overall feedback on student learning
• Develop a narrative based on your findings
• Reference the General Education Quadrennial Reports in the side panel to select your cycle and run a report

After completing your summary, be sure to save and close.
