Looking to create a curriculum map?
Each academic program at UConn is unique. The curriculum map reflects this uniqueness by creating a visualization of how the courses align to the program learning objectives in order to collectively develop student knowledge and skills across the curriculum. The curriculum map also identifies what direct and indirect assessment measures are used to document student learning and the target performance goals for each.
Ready to write a Year 1 Assessment Report?
During the first year of the cycle, at the end of the spring semester, academic programs report on half of their learning objectives and half of their key performance indicators. Programs have the option to report on more or less than half of objectives per report if they have an odd number of objectives or have identified groupings of objectives that are best measured together, as long as all objectives are measured across two Year 1 reports.

Time to work on a Year 2 Action Plan?
Based on the Year 1 report, the academic program defines action tasks to advance student learning and submit this in the Year 2 Action Plan. These tasks are developed by the program based on their Year 1 report findings and feedback from USLAC. This brief document includes:
- Planned action tasks
- Planned process for completing action tasks
- Defining deliverable that will be developed
Looking to prepare a Year 3 Action Summary?
After submitting the Year 2 Action Plan, the academic program will undertake the steps identified in their action plan during the third year of the cycle. At the end of the academic year, the academic program will submit a brief document:
- Summarizing action task activities
- Submitting any items created through these activities
- Defining how the impact of action tasks will be measured in the Year 1 Assessment Report when those objectives are next assessed.
