That description is found in an annual report for 2010/11.  \"Academic Assessment Plan: Evaluation of student learning according to these five criteria is based on three performance-based measures of student learning: 1) written materials produced by students in four required courses (Geoscience Fundamentals, Structural Geology, Sedimentology/Stratigraphy, and Senior Seminar), 2) a repeated ‘methods of science’ questionnaire, and 3) a professional geosciences exit exam. The first two measures will assess the first two outcomes listed above, while the exit exam will assess the last three outcomes. The Geosciences exit exam will be written during the 2010/11 academic year.\nViEWS: The ViEWS assessment has been embedded into the Learning Outcomes Assessment that is now reported using WEAVE ONLINE. Learning Outcomes #1 and #2 directly evaluate the departments’ ViEWS program. The department submitted materials for the SACS reaccreditation and these were considered as acceptable.\nWritten reports and oral presentations in writing and research intensive courses will continue to be used to demonstrate students’ ability to pursue scientific inquiry (objective #1) and communicate that inquiry according to the conventions of the geosciences (objective #2). Courses identified for this purpose are Geoscience Fundamentals (GEOS 1005 and 1006) as well as Senior Seminar (GEOS 4024).
