The syllabus for each course contains information on assessments and grading criteria. Rubrics for assignments clearly define expectations and grading. Evaluations and assessments of student learning are linked to the student learning outcomes for individual courses, which are linked to the program student learning outcomes and AACN (2008) Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice. To assist in ensuring consistency in grading the faculty are introduced to grading rubrics during orientation for new faculty. New faculty are observed during their first 30 days and feedback provided to help them understand and utilize the rubrics. During the capstone clinical experience, the faculty member will obtain feedback from the mentor and continually monitor and evaluate the learning experience. It is the responsibility of the faculty member to evaluate the student meeting of the learning outcomes. Grading is performed in the Canvas LMS using the Speed Grader tool. Grades and faculty feedback are available to students throughout the course. Feedback from faculty is not helpful if students do not see it. To enhance the student use of feedback a PowerPoint presentation is provided under the Pages tab in all courses. The presentation is titled How to View Instructor Feedback. The student clicks on the picture marked Feedback and they then can view the presentation that includes diagrams and pictures of the places to see instructor feedback on assignments in Canvas. Each course has mapped student learning outcomes to the assignments/evaluation methods used.
III-J The curriculum and teaching-learning practices are evaluated at regularly scheduled intervals, and evaluation data are used to foster ongoing improvement.
The elements of Standard III are evaluated throughout the year at scheduled times as assigned on the Monthly Calendar for Program Effectiveness Plan that includes all elements of the Program Effectiveness Plan. For example: Criterion III-J is reviewed at least biannually in March and June, planned clinical practice experiences are evaluated for Criterion III-H annually scheduled in February, and III-A is reviewed annually as scheduled in October.
