Assessment Day

CSD Sophomores in 207, 208, 209

Feb 9th, Assessment Day

Each year, JMU sets aside a class day for "Assessment."  CSD uses this day to assess graduating seniors and sophomores in the CSD major.  A student in the CSD major is considered a CSD sophomore if he/she meets both the two following criteria and must participate in CSD assessment.

1) Enrolled in any one of the three courses—CSD 207, 208, and 209 in Spring Semester 2017.
2) Have not taken CSD assessment previously.

Please mark your calendar for the 9th of February 2021, and designate at least 60 minutes between 8:00 am and 11:59 pm to complete the CSD Assessment on Canvas. Instructions on Canvas access for CSD UG Assess are enclosed on the next page of this MEMO.

If you meet the criteria to take the university-wide assessment, you either have received or will receive an email from the Center for Assessment and Research Studies with directions on taking the university-wide assessment. For information on the university-wide assessment, please see the following link: https://www.jmu.edu/assessment/Students/aboutAday.shtml Please direct your questions regarding the university-wide assessment to assessment@jmu.edu.

The CSD Assessment process will consist of two phases:
  • First, you will take a Multiple Choice Test that tests your knowledge on CSD related material;
  • then, you will be asked to complete an attitude towards learning survey relative to your CSD courses.

THIS ASSESSMENT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL CSD SENIORS AND CSD SOPHOMORES in 207, 208, and/or 209.  

The CSD faculty would appreciate it if you approach this day with a positive attitude.  Our Department values your involvement in this critical process.
