U of L has chosen for its Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), I2A, to focus on improving the critical thinking skills of undergraduate students and to more effectively prepare them to contribute to society. To implement the QEP, we will increase the focus on critical thinking within our General Education Program and undergraduate courses and establish culminating experiences for practical application of the critical thinking skills students have developed throughout their education.

U of L has identified two outcomes for I2A:

1. Students will be able to think critically
2. Students will develop the ability to address community issues

The impact of the University of Louisville’s efforts relative to the QEP will be assessed in multiple ways, including the use of direct and indirect assessments of student learning, national instruments, specifically developed assessments, and the tracking of QEP-related activities. The specific QEP assessment plan is being constructed through collaboration with the QEP “Ideas to Action (I2A)” Task Group and subcommittee on assessment, the University’s Office of Institutional Research, and the Office of the Associate University Provost for Academic Planning and Accountability.
