Examples of Assessing Student Achievement of Learning Objectives in the Major.
Each campus intends to develop its own assessment plan. We expect that each campus will enumerate the learning opportunities it provides for students to achieve the learning objectives. Each campus will also identify outcome(s) that reflect student achievement in a particular learning objective. We expect both the opportunities and outcomes to vary from campus to campus reflecting the unique programmatic directions of each campus.
To assist campuses in the task of developing an assessment plan, we offer three examples for each of the core learning objectives. Each example includes: (1) statements of specific instructional learning outcomes that reflect a competency inherent in the learning objective and (2) the achieved results of the outcome (indicators) that can be submitted to document objective attainment.
As campuses develop assessment plans, additional examples may be added to provide guidance to others. It is not intended that any or all of these sample outcomes and indicators need to be demonstrated by any particular student. Each campus profile of outcomes and indicators will be unique, as will that of each student.
All students completing the upper division Kinesiology degree program should:

| 1 | Use computer presentation software to support an oral presentation. | Prepare a Power Point presentation to include outline and graphics that support a presentation on movement performance. |
| 2 | Use computer graphical software to illustrate concepts in educational and professional materials. | Submit a written paper that includes both charts and visual graphics to illustrate performance change. |
| 3 | Use the computer to assist in testing a hypothesis related to a professional goal. | Collect data to assess the hypothesis. After analyzing the data with computer analyses, submit a written report in which the accuracy of the hypothesis is evaluated. |
