Embedded Assessment
Embedded Assessment : "Embedded assessment is a process whereby a faculty member consciously, explicitly and systematically monitors whether or not students are meeting the core curriculum goals in a specific core curriculum course. Assessment items are incorporated into existing evaluative instruments (e.g., exams, quizzes, short papers) already being administered in a course. The Purpose of Embedded Assessment: Embedded assessment allows a faculty member teaching a core curriculum course to determine whether or not students are fulfilling the core curriculum goals relevant that faculty member's course. In many cases, this knowledge will enable a faculty member to confirm that his or her pedagogical approach is effective in giving students the opportunity to meet core curriculum goals. When data indicate that students are not meeting core curriculum goals, a faculty member may want to reflect on how he or she might alter pedagogical approaches to provide more opportunity for students to master core goals". (Raymond, Embedded Assessment Plan, 2004, p. 1)
