DSU Holds Its Annual Data Day

DSU held its third annual Data Day in an effort to positively impact student success through the analysis of assessment measurements.

Held in the parlors of the MLK Jr. Student Center on May 13, faculty and staff from all of the University’s academic colleges and departments took part in sessions led by Dr. Jodi Levine Laufgraben, vice provost for Academic Affairs, Assessment and Institutional Research at Temple University.

Dr. Laufgraben conducted sessions on understanding and using rubrics as they relate to the direct evidence of student learning and how to use such evidence.

The gathering also collaborated in reviewing program assessment plans and data.

This year’s Data Day also featured an assessment poster contest. Members of the gathering voted on the top posters that were on display in the parlors.

Jerami Frazier, a senior computer and information science major, won first place for his poster on “A Systematic Course and Program Outcome Assessment Tool.” The second place prize was awarded to movement science instructors Megan Maloney and Cara Gomez for their joint-poster on “Comprehensive Curricular Revision in Movement Science Programs.”
