University of Dayton

The University of Dayton considers assessment to be an integral component of the daily operations of every unit on campus, both in the classroom setting and outside of the classroom. All units at UD engage in some form of assessment. Units continually evaluate the success of their efforts and view assessment as a tool rather than a target. The definition of “unit” is left to the discretion of the deans and vice presidents – whatever is appropriate for their situation. A unit might be a department, a program, or a function. Faculty or staff could conceivably belong to more than one unit for the purposes of assessment.
