Brief Description
The assessment of our Gen Ed required research writing course started with the question: “If qualities of good writing are context specific, what are the qualities of good writing in our local [EMU] context?” To identify these qualities, we:
  • convened focus groups of students, faculty, staff, administrators from outside of the FYWP and FYWP instructors;
  • analyzed transcripts using procedures drawn from dynamic criteria mapping to determine qualities of ‘good writing’
  • developed an assessment instrument reflecting those qualities
  • analyzed approximately 10% of the final portfolios from the course to learn about in what ways, and to what extent, work in the sample reflected qualities associated with “good writing” on our campus
