The General Education Assessment Process has one goal: to improve student learning in the Core Curriculum. It does this by setting outcomes, assessing student work, and providing faculty the data they need to improve their core courses. In 2017, CSU embarked on a five-year Comprehensive Program Review of its General Education, the details of which are available at the links on this page. The Assessment Process is always open to improvement. Please review the plan below and submit feedback at the link to help the General Education Committee keep the Assessment Process on a track of continuous improvement.

Learning mindsets matter

Mindsets are our beliefs and perceptions about learning. They shape how we interpret difficulty, and research shows they are critical predictors of academic performance, persistence, and motivation. We are primarily interested in three main learning mindsets.

Growth Mindset
Belief that intelligence can be developed.

Purpose and Value
Belief that schoolwork is valuable because it's personally relevant.

Social Belonging
Belief that one is connected to and respected by peers, cared for by teachers and mentors, and fits in with the culture.

Fall 2018

This year our office wanted to make the results easily accessible to those who need it. Below you will find four different excel files. Each college has its own excel file. This will enable them to filter the results by each department as well. For your convenience, the University Comprehensive results are included in each excel file.

Please reach out if you have any questions about the results.
