SACS News and Notes
During the first two weeks of February, the Collegiate
Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP - a test "designed by ACT
to help institutions improve instructional programs by reporting on the
academic
progress of students") was administered on an experimental basis
to a select group of approximately 190 upper division students across
the Colleges of Agriculture and Human Resources, Arts & Sciences,
Business Administration, Education and Engineering. The exams were sent
to ACT
last week for grading and results should be coming back soon. The
immediate results of the test will be used in an ongoing assessment of
the general education program at Texas A&M-Kingsville. If the University
decides to adopt CAAP as an external assessment measure, it will be used
regularly
as a benchmark for quality improvement in our general education
program. The current testing was under the direction of the General
Education Committee, with the assistance of Life Services and Wellness.
Thanks to all the students and instructors who gave up class time to
contribute to this important work.
