Innovative Ideas for Assessing Accounting
Courses
This session has been
CANCELLED.
Description/Objectives:
The goal of this workshop is to provide participants with innovative strategies
and ideas for assessing outcomes throughout an accounting course.
This CPE session will focus
on ideas for assessment at four different junctures of the course:
| 1) |
|
at the start of the
course, like analyzing the students' vs. instructors' goals and objectives for
the course; |
| 2) |
|
during the course, in
both daily and weekly assessment methods as well as various alternative testing
devices that measure student's ability to learn, synthesize, and
apply; |
| 3) |
|
after the course, in
constructing and interpreting effective teaching evaluations and revising the
course for its next offering; |
| 4) |
|
during the planning
stages of curriculum changes. |
Format/Structure:
Each presenter will be allotted a certain amount of time for presentation.
After the presentation, the forum will be opened for participants to ask
questions, discuss materials, or share their own experiences. A hands-on
project will also be introduced during the session.
Intended Audience:
This session is open to all faculty members and administrators who are
interested in using innovative assessment devices in accounting courses. This
course will provide new ideas for assessing the performance of both instructors
and students, as well as discussing from experience "what works and what
doesn't work."
Presenters:
Robert J. Walsh, Marist College
Anthony H. Catanach, Villanova University
Susan V. Crosson, Santa Fe Community College
Tracy S. Manly, University of Tulsa
