Learning Outcome 1: Alternative Testing

Assessment Measures
Students who have received the accommodation of alternative testing will be given information at the beginning of each term with a link to complete the pre-survey. The information will focus on college student rights under the ADA.

Assessment Data Collection Plan
The data via the pre-survey will be collected during each semester. The post survey data will be collected at the end of finals week of each semester. An internal database containing all the students who have alternative testing will be used to distribute both the pre and post survey.
