Lines of Inquiry:

The Working Group for Standard III is tasked to find evidence and draft a narrative to answer the following questions:

  1. How does the college ensure equity and inclusion for all learning experiences? How does the college assess rigor and coherence for all offerings?
  2. How do faculty demonstrate they are effective and rigorous in their teaching, assessment of student learning, scholarly inquiry, and service to the college? How are faculty evaluated and assessed? How are expectations made clear?
  3. How does the college’s general education program address intellectual experiences, cultural and global awareness, and the ability for students to make judgments within and outside of their academic discipline? How often is the General Education program assessed?
  4. How does the college communicate to credit and credit-free seeking students what programs are offered, the purpose, requirements, and outcomes of such programs?
  5. After researching the above questions, how can CSM improve in any of these areas?
