Assignment: Design & Methodology

Please find an area in a higher education institution and:

1. Develop and describe a plan to assess or evaluate the intervention. Present clear evaluation questions and describe criteria and standards that will be used as the basis for judgment or assessment. Clearly articulate how the design will help answer the assessment/evaluation questions. What methodologies will you use to gather the information you need? What will be the source(s) of the information? What designs are appropriate to your purposes and what you need to know? In what ways is it aligned with or contributing to achieving the department's mission or institution's mission? Where do you see alignment? Can you provide a timeline for this assessment project?

2. Who will be responsible for collecting and gathering the information? How will the information be analyzed and interpreted?

3. Choose one of the methods of assessment and evaluation and develop a tool to be used. For example, you might choose to develop an interview or focus group protocol if using qualitative or you might develop a survey questionnaire if you are using a quantitative approach. Be sure to consult the extant literature regarding best practices that support assessment/evaluation design. (Page length varies)

Topic should be: Retention, Campus engagement, and student success

Retention is a hot topic in higher education. As studies showed campus engagement has direct correlation with student success. I will be assessing 2 years of data from a public higher education institution to see the effect of student engagement effects on retention.

Retention is a very broad topic. In your assessment paper you should focus on one specific program or student body etc. If you prefer, we can review your topic to fine tune it.
