Abstract: 

Dreading your program review?  Worried how you will tie course outcomes to program outcomes?  Looking to make a change from your current assessment methods?  This interactive discussion will suggest processes and tools to perform a program assessment. 

Extended Abstract: 

 The session will address the what, when and why of making the switch from research projects to capstone projects in Masters programs or undergradaute programs for better, more consistent assessment.  As extensive pressure is put on educational institutions to assess learning, and be able to prove assessment measurement for specific competencies, the session provides valuable discussion on considerations to address before moving forward with any program assessment models.  Technology tools to track program assessment will also be addressed.  This highly interactive session will feature a presentation, followed by pair and share discussion for maximum participant learning.
