B.     Matrices

C.     Appendices

 

This section should include any documentation needed to validate assertions made in the matrix.  This could include, but is not limited to:

 

·        Program descriptions and course(s) of study including courses and sequences taken by semester/quarter/trimester.  Clearly distinguish required from elective courses.  Advising sheets are suggested for all programs.

·        Syllabi as needed to validate indicators, learning experiences and assessments.

·        Copies of significant assessment instruments or descriptions of criteria for assessment not found in syllabi.

·        Data summaries and analyses based on candidate performance.

·        Documentation of goals for improvement of science education over the next five years and the basis for selecting these goals.

 

NOTE:  The appendices should be limited to a maximum of 100 pages.  The complete program review document should be no more than 140 pages.
