This past week was looking at Models, synthesizing the content to date. Dr. Jerry Edmonds came and spoke on Model building. You can download a copy of his slides here:  JerryEdmonds-PresentationSlides.

For those of you who were able to attend class, Dr. Edmonds spoke about model development. One example he gave was the model developed here at SU for program assessment. The early version is on page 11 of the PDF of his slides. The final version is on page 12.  From those two slides you can see there can be a dramatic difference between initial and final models. I was involved with the development of the documentation of the 3-circle model in 2015.

The current version used to explain the model to audiences is found at: http://assessment.syr.edu/assessment/academic-programs/
