Learning Outcome Planning Objective
Resident Assistant Programming
Objective 1: Residential students will gain a better understanding about the importance of internal and external university communities.
Rationale:
- Understanding the internal and external university communities is important for residential students' growth because it helps to show students how they fit into the larger picture of the university community and the community beyond the university.
Measures:
- An Evaluation will be collected from all who attend a Resident Assistant program to assess if they gained a better understanding about the importance of the internal and external university communities.
- The evaluation is a half-sheet, likert scale form that asks students five questions about the degree to which they gained knowledge from the program they attended. The Resident Assistant who implements the program collects the evaluations and turns them into the Assistant Residence Coordinator, Programming within 72 hours of the program. The Assistant Residence Coordinator, Programming will tabulate the results of the surveys. The surveys will be used to more effectively construct future programs to meet the general needs of residential students and to assess whether or not the goals and objectives of each program were met.
Objective 2: Residential students will create general respect, civility, and individuality.
Rationale:
- Because individuals live in a complex and multifaceted society, as well as close quarters in the residence halls, helping residential students to create general respect, civility, and individuality is important. The residential living experience serves as a microcosm of the larger world, and this is a great place for residential students to learn, understand, and demonstrate these values.
Measures:
- Resident Assistants will implement programs that encourages responsibility, and open dialogue that will be attached to each program or activity. An evaluation will be administered at the conclusion of each program to assess the degree to which open dialogue occurred and the comfort level of the atmosphere to encourage responsibility.
