Assessment Plan for COP 4910
This page provides an assessment plan for COP 4910 at the University of Central Florida as taught by Gary T. Leavens. The plan maps the course's learning outcomes to general types of assignments in the course. Since all units of the course have roughly the same impact on the course's learning outcomes, this represents planning for how to achieve the learning outcomes in general. That is, this document is something of an abstraction from the individual assignments.
New ideas for assessment of any objectives are very welcome!
The normal assessment threshold (for me to consider that students have adequately learned the material) is 75%.
