Description
The practice of regular program reviews connects to an increasing focus on assessment in higher education, going beyond an examination of the grades students receive to a broader review of department and program objectives and how they are meeting those objectives. These assessment requirements are also opportunities to develop student skills related to scientific literacy and research. This poster describes the process and outcomes of a course designed to build scientific literacy and provide research opportunities by incorporating undergraduate students into the process of designing, administering, and analyzing program review assessments for the Psychology department. It discusses recommended course activities, and shows how this opportunity can benefit students and faculty in a myriad of ways.
