Intended Learning Outcomes This section describes what an ideal student would have gained as a result of being involved in an intervention from your learning community. These should reflect specific goals that are important to your learning community. Tips to write a good learning outcome statement are posted online at http://lc.wayne.edu/assessment/Resources.php. In general, a few key learning outcome statements are better than a laundry list. Explain what you want the student to be able to do or what the student will need to know in order to do this well.
Specific LC Experiences Designed to Meet the Learning Outcomes This section describes the type of intervention(s) that your learning community will provide for students that will help them meet the learning outcome. Explain what activity will facilitate the learning.
Assessment Methodologies for Intended Learning Outcomes This section explains how you will know if your experience helped students to meet the learning outcome. Describe the method you will use to measure how well students met that goal. For help setting up surveys or looking up student outcomes in Banner, please refer to http://lc.wayne.edu/assessment/guidelines.php. Explain how the student will demonstrate the learning or how you will know the student has done this well.

Tips
Please be specific in the evidence portion of the assessment. For example, if you found out that a goal was met by asking your students about that through a survey, describe the findings under evidence, describe the survey under how you gathered the data, and also attach the survey, a summary of the results, and indicate the item(s) in the survey which relate to the outcome under the evidence column.
Furthermore, if you only have results in paper and pencil, you can turn that in through interoffice mail. Just give a heads up in your electronic final report summary so that can be included in your packet.
Additionally, sometimes you won’t have met your goal. That’s ok, but please include an attachment to address what you learned from that, and your plans to either change that goal or improve performance on that for next year.
For technical support, if you used Student Voice for a survey and are having trouble with your results, please call 716.652.9400, email studentvoiceassessment3@studentvoice.com, or attend free online trainings at http://www.studentvoice.com/training.
Finally, to measure GPA, retention or other parts of the student academic record, you can download this data through STARS Reports. Directions and an Advanced Organizer are available online.
