Outcomes Assessment Activities
Student success is measured through a variety of
methods that include classroom writing samples,
portfolios of student work, professional internship
evaluations, exit interviews, student employment upon
graduation, and alumni feedback.
Each major or minor is encouraged to maintain an
academic portfolio of all salient work or projects
completed while in the department. Department faculty
will review and evaluate a selection of portfolios in the
spring of each year to track student progress. Each
emphasis area adviser also maintains a file.
The Mass Communications Department/Center for
New Media insists that the academic portfolio demonstrate
a pattern of sustained academic growth and
development of the major and minor, appropriate to
the student's emphasis area.
The academic portfolio should reflect the quality and
level of intellectual and scholarly work undertaken by
the student while in the department, relative to the
qualitative, quantitative, ethical, legal and aesthetic
dimensions of the field. The appropriateness of the
content is dictated by the student's emphasis area and
is prescribed by the individual's advisor.
A student may be required to participate in an exit
interview during his or her final semester. Students are
selected on a random basis from enrollments in the
department's capstone course, Mass Media Seminar.

courses of instruction are designed to develop

phases: the Basic Course and the Advanced Course.
