Program Level Assessment Spreadsheet Instructions
Applicable to the 2002/2003 Academic Year
edited: 1/7/2003
Introduction
The intent of this spreadsheet is to provide a means for each program to present the results of their
assessment processes in a systematic fashion that is comparable to the reports of all other programs on
campus.
This spreadsheet is set up to report the results of both OBJECTIVES and OUTCOMES. As not all programs
have distinquished between the two (see the the UAA ACIP manual for defintions), your program may chose
to use only one set of the tables to report your results.
It is anticipated that the first use of this speadsheet will be somewhat burdansome but that subsequent uses
will involve a minimum of effort to accomplish the assessment. Please request assistance from the
Associate Vice Provost for Academic Affairs (AVPAA) in the Office of Academic Affairs if you have questions
or require assistance in understanding these tables.
It is assumed that there is within your program sufficient spreadsheet skills to edit the required tables. If you
have trouble with any part of the spreadsheets please contact the AVPAA for assistance.
To aid you in filling out this table, comments have been scatter throughout the spreadsheets. You can get rid
of these by right clicking on the cell the comment is attached to then either hide or delete the comment. We
have also included sample data from the Civil Engineering program as an example of how the tables are to
be used. Edit the entries to match your program.
The edited version of this spreadsheet for each course is to be submitted to the AVPAA by June 1st of each
year.
Instructions
When setting up the spreadsheet, change the name of the file to reflect the program that it is being used to
assess. Please use the same naming convention.

Table 5: Program Improvement Recommendations Based on Assessment
This table is a critical part of the improvement process. After discussing the results of your assessments with
your constituent groups, it is time to recommend improvements to the program. Recommendations need to
be recorded and tracked. Update EVERY YEAR.
Record all improvement recommendations based on the current year's assessment. Please create an ID for
each improvement recommendation so that it can be tracked. See the format shown in the example given.
This ID tag includes the academic year, college/school abreviation, program abreviation, and
recommendation number. Also indicated the objectives and outcomes that this recommendation addresses.
Also include all prior year recommendations that have not been previously completed. For the
recommendations listed in prior years, indicate the action that was taken to implement the recommendation.
