Student Learning Outcomes

 

Common Assessment by assessing Paraphrasing of Case Statements 

 

For Fall 2016 and Spring 2017, the entire law/paralegal program with use a Common Assessment Format for  purpose of assessing Student Learning Outcomes

 

Case Briefs - IRAC vs Paraphrasing

In previous years/semesters we have assessed how our students are doing in briefing law cases through the IRAC method. This semester we will assess the analysis of cases through paraphrasing of  selected (4) four key case statements along with "who won/why" conclusion. A  case related to the subject matter of the class will be assessed by each faculty and the results reported, along with a narrative summary of observations, comparisons with the IRAC assessment, and suggestions for student improvement.

 

Assessment Format

 

Our students will review a selected case in each course, and submit paraphrased (in their own words) explanation of the selected (4) four key case statements, along with a conclusion of who won and why.
