Assessment

U.K. conducts assessment of all academic programs as part of its accreditation process.  Students in the English 102 Town and Gown series participate in the university assessment by providing a copy of their second major essay and by completing a 45-minute in-class essay.  If you are absent on the day your class does this writing, you must schedule a make-up.  Your grade will be held until you complete the assessment.  Your grade does not change in any way because of the assessment.
