The University of Wyoming is committed to the continuous improvement of student academic achievement. To ensure student learning is taking place, a wide range of assessment activities are used to assist the UW community in making data-driven decisions on how to best build an environment where students can thrive. Utilizing the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment Transparency Framework, this website provides an overview of UW assessment activities and results. Welcome to the 2023/2024 Academic Year- we appreciate the enthusiasm and intentionality our campus colleagues bring to the work of assessment for student learning. This website is a tool for engagement with this process and a way to access support in the area of assessment. Thank you and we look forward to the work ahead. |
