At the root of 100% of our assessment systems is a survey. If we are collecting data for you, the vehicle for the collection is a well-designed survey. If we develop a writing center registration screen, ask students how they experienced PSY 400-01, or ask customers if they can endorse a business, somewhere in the cyberspace-background, an optimized, logic-filled survey is running the show. 

 Did you know that the quality of an answer is related to the quality of the question? We have been helping our partners ask quality questions since 1988. We are survey artists at work. The Greek word "techně", often translated as "art," implies mastery of any sort of craft. Send us your survey and we will demonstrate our mastery.  Better yet, let us design one for you. Request a proposal now or drop me a line at cecil_mcmanus@probeconsulting.com let me know what PROBE can paint or sculpt for you on a web-based canvas.

If you need to interface with alumni, customers, employers, general education students, potential donors, or your congregation, PROBE will develop a professional web-based data collection system. We have been digitizing paper and pencil instruments since 1988. 

We will unlock the information contained in your data and you will spend less money because we automate everything. When we ask Hal to open the bay doors, He actually opens the doors.

Historically, assessment in higher education was a tangential process that occupied the institution every ten years. Different offices were assessed and then evaluated as free-standing units and not as integrated parts of an institutional whole. At the end of the day or the conclusion of a site visit, you may realize that your institution is a very complex system that cannot be described by Excel tables and pie charts. It may be more advantageous to arrive at that conclusion sooner as opposed to Ex Post Facto. 

In this very complex system, the success of the Academic Affairs Office is tied directly to the success of the Student Affairs Office. The success of the Registrar’s Office is tied directly to the success of the Admissions office, and so on.    

Modern assessment systems must be part of the mainstream culture within the institution and involve all stakeholders concurrently in the development of a culture of authentic evidence and tangible success. These systems must not only encapsulate what students KNOW, how they THINK, and what they can DO but also clearly delineate the contribution of each unit to the development of an institution-wide Success Construct. 

Instead of gearing up for a compliance certification document or an accreditation visit, let us help you build a multi-trait/multi-method assessment system and develop a universal SUCCESS CONSTRUCT across your entire institution.

1. Know to what extent the Mission is being accomplished
2. Know how well each academic program is contributing to the Mission
3. Know how well each student support unit is contributing to the Mission                         
4. Know how well each administrative support unit is contributing to the Mission
5. Know the ROI associated with the institution 

Why worry?  We will develop an automated, authentic, institution-wide assessment system, and mainstream a Contextualist-focused web-based assessment process involving students, faculty members, staff, administrators, alumni, and key stakeholders as one holistic unit.  Click here for a Modest Proposal from PROBE Consulting.
