Based upon this assessment and an inventory of the syllabi of all general education courses, we have begun to revise our courses syllabi to reflect the emphases that we have determined we must make:  
to improve the reading and writing abilities of our students.  We have held an initial workshop on writing across the curriculum, have appointed a committee to oversee writing and reading across the curriculum, have appointed a committee to oversee writing and reading across the curriculum, and are updating our assessment of writing and reading competencies within our curriculum.  We will offer writing across the curriculum and writing to learn workshops for all faculty involved in teaching general education courses.

Our plan is to sample sections of all courses in the general education program by collecting student writing from all students in those sections, to require faculty to specify the criteria they expect of students in writing within their diciplines, and to train faculty to conduct assessment of student writing across the disciplines.  We will then have the faculty trained to evaluate our students' writing conduct an assessment of the student products.

We will assess the other competencies in general education through a varied set of procedures:  report from capstone seminars as part of our continuing assessments of the majors, student surveys, portfolios of student products, faculty surveys, and inventories of syllabi and course materials.
