Student Learning Outcome

How is this outcome assessed?

1

Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts and sub-disciplines in Psychology.

We are currently revising the Social Science Objective Test that was developed by our department in 1991. This will be given as a pre-test to students when they declare the major and as a post-test to Seniors at the end of the academic year. The test will reflect the changes in the degree that were approved of in 2004. This is particularly relevant to item #5  because  students now have to choose three disciplines to specialize in and we need to develop an additional set of objective tests that test students in their specializations.

2

Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts, general theories and general methodological perspectives in Sociology.

3

Students will be able to demonstrate in-depth knowledge in at least three of the major social science disciplines from among Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Political Science, History, Psychology and Sociology.
