Techniques for Assessment
The student will be assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The assessment strategies used within the Behavioral Sciences place much responsibility upon the student to keep track of personal career progress. Each course will have its own assessment methods, including standard tests, essays, developing literature reviews, conducting research, delivering workshops, and other content-driven assessments, and engaging in experiential service-learning. The student will create a portfolio containing assessed materials from each year. The portfolio will be evaluated by a minimum of 2 Behavioral Science faculty prior to graduation.
Program assessment includes the following methods:
The Introduction to Human Sciences course. Each student will enroll in Introduction to the Human Sciences, in which the student will be introduced to the fields of human science, scientific methodology, critical reasoning skills, thought processes, professional literacy, and portfolio management.
Advisor
Each student will be assigned to or select a Behavioral Sciences faculty member as an advisor. The advisor will assist the student in career development, portfolio management, and skills development. The student will meet with his/her advisor each semester and as needed to monitor career development.
Capstone
In the senior year the student will demonstrate, through applied research, fieldwork, or internship, that the student has developed an integrated and applied understanding of the Behavioral Sciences.
Exit Interview
In the last semester of the senior year, the student will meet with a committee of the Behavioral Sciences faculty to present and review their portfolio.
