EER Report Highlights

• Student Learning. In a ULO-based, campus-wide assessement of writing, seniors scored higher than freshmen on all traits measured: purpose, synthesis, support, style, and mechanics.
• Student Success. On the 2011 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), Cal Poly seniors rated the overall quality of academic advising at 3.01 on a scale of 1 (poor) to 4 (excellent), a .31 increase since 2008.
• Organizational Learning. Program review is at a developed stage based on WASC's Educational Effectiveness Framework rubric (doc).
• Our Polytechnic Identity. According to program review reports, Learn by Doing is helping students attain program learning objectives.

Educational Effectiveness Review Report Submitted to WASC

The campus submitted its Educational Effectiveness Review (EER) Report (pdf) to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) on January 9, 2012. In preparation for the site visit on April 3-5, all campus constituents are invited to read the full report or the executive summaries. The report has four chapters: Student Learning, Student Success, Organizational Learning, and Our Polytechnic Identity—each of which includes a list of recommended action items.

President Armstrong has called the self-study "a valuable tool that provides a snapshot of a complex campus" and added, "The report will help Cal Poly to achieve its vision of becoming the nation’s premier comprehensive polytechnic university."
