Techniques for Assessment
Students are required to complete a Computer Portfolio in addition to those courses defined within the program. Students construct a portfolio from the Capstone Projects completed as part of the Cos course requirements portion of their program. The portfolio is intended to enable assessment of those learning outcomes that are best assessed in an integrative fashion, spanning all of the student’s course work and therefore reflects overall academic growth. The ability to effectively communicate ideas and present results in the selected area of concentration is one example of a learning outcome that is explicitly assessed and evaluated through the portfolio requirement.
