Why We Engage in Assessment
Assessment at LMU is grounded in these core beliefs:
- We are committed to reflection and lifelong learning with our students
- We seek to advance equity through anti-racist practices in assessment
- We reject the notion that assessment is a compliance activity
- We believe assessment moves us from curiosity, evidence, and reflection toward action to deepen our commitment to an equitable learning environment for all students
Guided by these beliefs, Educational Effectiveness and Assessment at LMU provides leadership and support in the University’s efforts to create a culture of evidence, learning-centeredness, and continuous improvement.
