| Taskforce
on Guide to Best Practices
This
Guide for Best Practices for Academic Program Analysis and
Improvement was developed by the MTSU Best Practices Task
Force. The guide provides MTSU faculty and departments an
effective tool to use in the assessment of their academic
programs. These assessment activities are an integral part
of fully implementing MTSU's Performance Funding Assessment
Implementation Plan.
Dr.

appointed the Task Force in January, 2003, to promote dialogue
across disciplines about effective assessment processes and
to create this guide. The members of the Task Force were selected

program measurements or have made significant progress in
program assessment. Dr. Terry Weeks, Professor of Educational
