Abstract
ACE 10 Question
The English department has developed a set of learning outcomes and a programmatic assessment process for the English major that uses the English major capstone (an ACE 10 certified course required of all majors) as a collection site for student work to be assessed. The course includes two components. First, students are asked to look back on their work in the major and select samples covering a range of learning outcomes in the major to be included in a portfolio. Second, students engage in a common intellectual inquiry and produce substantial final projects keyed to the common inquiry. This final project then becomes a key component of the portfolio.
Student Work: Students devise their own projects within the ACE requirements
