Working directly with faculty and professional staff, Quinsigamond Community College developed an in-course module that provided faculty with the assessment tools and information needed to design effective writing assignments for more accurate assessment of student learning based upon the college’s participation in the 2015 Multi-State Collaborative to Advance Learning Outcomes Assessment.
