Figure 1

Based on the qualitative analysis of faculty descriptions of their assessment and grading practices in a CRE, four central aims of assessment were defined: 1. Assess Laboratory Work and Scientific Thinking; 2. Evaluate Mastery of Concepts, Quantitative Thinking, and Skills; 3. Appraise Forms of Scientific Communication; & 4. Metacognition of Learning. Together these four aims and associated assessment and grading practices define the assessment program of a CRE.
