Assessment - Brenau University

Rubrics

Brenau University through its Faculty Assessment Committee is exploring Washington State University's Critical Thinking Project for possible implemention here at BU. Several Brenau faculty members have developed adaptatons of the WSU Critical Thinking Rubric and are piloting them in their classes to aid in assessment of this important cross-curricular goal. To learn more about the WSU Critical Thinking Project go to Washington State University.

Below are links to two Brenau faculty adaptations based on the Washington State model and adaptations from WSU faculty in various disciplines.
