ApproachThe approach used for assessment is adapted from our physics program. The purpose ofassessment is to determine what the students have actually learned, not what they know. Thisinformation is not used to assign grades to the students (although the post test is also used as asummative assessment tool, i.e. a quiz). Instead, this information is used to evaluate studentlearning and professor teaching. It is used to change both what we teach and how we teach it.In our lower division physics courses, these data are obtained by administering pre-tests and posttests to our students. At the beginning of each term, students are given a major pre-test looking atconcepts (not math skills) taught during that term. At the end of the term, they receive the
