Assessment: The Physical Education/Health program has several points in which students are assessed. At program admissions students are evaluated in terms of physical well-being and skills attainment. In courses, students are assessed as to their performance in comparison to academic standards. In capstone tests, students are assessed as to the level of physical skills and level of ability to integrate cumulative learning. Communication and critical thinking are key components in assessing students' final capstone product. Stated outcomes for the program were gleaned from national standards and apportioned to each course. Each course syllabi lists outcomes. An accumulation of each of the course requirements assures that students will have met all stated outcomes of the program.
*Norms are available for persons with disabilities.
