Responsibility for and authority over academics at the University of Delaware lies with the faculty and we support the faculty in carrying out these charges, including the very important charge of understanding the extent of student learning in our courses and activities. Faculty in academic programs are responsible for developing program educational goals that clearly state what students should learn through their completion of the program and (b) systematically assessing the extent of student achievement of those goals, including dissemination and use of that information on a regular basis.Regular and familiar university processes and policies are used to ensure these vital processes are being carried out, including (a) the annual appraisal of department chairs and program directors, (b) academic program reviews, and (c) curriculum proposals and revisions processed by the Faculty Senate.
