Three questions as the basis of assessment by President Manuel Esteban

• 1. What does it mean to be a major in Psychology (for example), and what should a Psychology major know?
  2. To what learning processes (i.e., courses, internships, practicums, etc.) should the student be exposed to learn those things?
  3. How will you assess whether or not the student has learned those things?
