Participation in Assessment Activities

Fort Hays State University is committed to the use of various kinds of assessment activities as a way of creating or acquiring information about student and faculty progress toward educational goals and the effectiveness of institutional policies and practices. In order to make necessary adjustments in the learning environment which will be effective in developing the talents of students and faculty to the fullest extent possible, assessment activities are conducted on a University-wide basis.

It is the responsibility of students to participate in any and all forms of assessment activity. The knowledge derived from student participation in assessment programming will help faculty and administrators make better choices about how to optimize the impact of the institution's learning environment, processes, and management practices.
