Three questions as the basis of assessment by President Manuel Esteban
-
- What does it mean to be a major in Psychology (for example), and what should a Psychology major know?
- To what learning processes (i.e., courses, internships, practicums, etc.) should the student be exposed to learn those things?
- How will you assess whether or not the student has learned those things?
