GEP Assessment
Every faculty member teaching a GEP class should include at least one assignment measuring at least one of the GEP learning outcomes with the GEP rubric. Virtual drop-in sessions are available to help you get set up. Additional instructions for Fall 2024 can be found in the General Education Faculty Learning Community Webcourse.
The assessment deadline is Friday, November 1 (coinciding, as usual, with the Withdrawal deadline).
