Assembling faculty, not administrators, with a demonstrated interest inundergraduate teaching, Aldridge worked to develop a cadre of teaching faculty across differentinstitutions who understood and believed in outcomes assessment. These workshops were crucialto building on-the-ground interest and support for EC 2000 and outcomes assessment as a whole.It was also around this time that Gloria Rogers, an education specialist working with RoseHulman, got involved.

Their combined use ofquantitative and qualitative methods in their rubrics helped standardize the grading of reports byteaching assistants who each had to grade reports for a common course. In the same manner, thefaculty advisors in the senior design course each had to grade the design report for theirindividual team, while submitting that grade for a common course.

Certain students are struggling in this class, especially the students from disadvantaged backgrounds and groups. They ask a lot of questions in office hours, they work slowly, they seem lost in laboratory sessions. If they are struggling so deeply and so early, perhaps they aren’t going to make it.
