To help structure the assessment process, programs should draft a curriculum map that indicates at what point in the curriculum the intended learning outcomes are achieved. Ideally, the self-study report would contain specific examples of how faculty have used data to improve teaching practices.
The self-study should articulate ways in which instructional, research, and outreach programs might be changed or improved within currently available university resources. The allocation of resources and processes for planning should be applied to the mission, improve the quality of education, and respond to future challenges.
The self-study should include information on how the program seeks to maximize the use of its human and material resources. While programs should address the same core evaluation criteria i. Examples from previous reviews include reviewing organizational structure, reviewing curriculum to determine currency and relevance, examining capacity and commitment to engage with constituencies, and exploring the feasibility of new program development. After determining the emphasis of the external review, the program Chair may appoint a self-study steering committee.
The responsibility of the steering committee is to develop an effective self-study document that addresses the stated purposes and criteria. Once a draft document is forwarded to the Chair and shared with the faculty, the committee will respond to suggestions for changes and finalize the self-study document. Following the program review visit and the submission of the external report, the steering committee may serve as a resource for developing the program response. The Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost, in collaboration with Institutional Research and the E-data team, has developed a web portal and Cybox folder system PDF, KB to provide departments developing their self-study with easy access to some common data sets.
Academic Program Review: Guidelines for Self-Study and Review Foci Hallmarks of an Effective Self-Study Process In the past, program review often focused on the "status" of a program: did the program make efficient use of resources, was course content appropriate, did faculty efforts in research represent sufficient quality and quantity?
An effective self-study process: Promises to have an impact beyond the review team visit. Highly effective self-study processes produce findings and recommendations that the unit, department, college, or university should address. Focuses on the purpose of improving teaching and learning Builds on existing and ongoing self-evaluation processes. A well-designed self-study builds on what is already in place and makes use of data that already exists.
See " Data to Support Self Study " below. Will clearly and concisely demonstrate achievement of the three core criteria. The length of the document excluding appendices should not be more than 20 pages. Examples of appendices would include a roster of faculty and staff, a one-page vita summary for faculty members, and existing reports e.
Explicitly addresses strengths and weaknesses to promote a focus on needed changes. Is a joint effort of all program members and participants — faculty, students, staff, and others contributing to the program. Core Criteria All programs should address the following core criteria in their self-study and review process: Mission, Program Quality, and Preparing for the Future.
Besides, other factors impact on the decision migrants take in the pre-, peri- and post migratory stages. These trajectories are often impaired with hardship, losses and human rights violations referred to as victimigration - victimisation through migration. Furthermore, migrants are dependent on reliable and accurate information about their migration options and value information from relatives and people within their social network rather than information through official channels and their governments.
All these dynamics in relation to borders and trajectories will be discussed and studied in twelve lectures. We will invite experts to share their knowledge and debate the topic at stake with the students. The basis of this course is literary fiction and the main argument is that it is in particular literary novels that we can find in-depth knowledge on experiences of migration. In most migration studies, however, literary fiction is left out, rooted as it supposedly is in imagination and the writerly invention of a world.
Aesthetics is considered the opposite of academic reasoning and empirical analysis, and as such not acknowledged as relevant in scientific research. This course starts in literary fiction and then relates the fiction to five concepts that are used and discussed within migration and diaspora studies: hospitality, precariousness, solidarity, belonging , and visibility. The claim is that in the interconnection of literary fiction and the foregrounded theoretical concepts we can delve up and construct new insights on migrant experiences.
This course considers topics such as the effect of immigration on the host countries economy, on the home countries, and on the immigrants themselves. Other topics covered are the extent of onward and return migration in the past, and how much we can expect in the future.
We will talk about results of behavioral economics research regarding perceptions of and biases toward immigration, and individual preferences about immigration.
In the final session, we will discuss the ethics of immigration and how it is related to the economics of immigration. Throughout the course we will highlight research findings about immigration which are more or less agreed among economists and those that are still debated or underexplored.
