The Fine Print
UW Assessment Program
Assessment of student learning is done on a continuous basis. This assessment helps us evaluate our classes for improvement. While we use the assessment internally in our evaluation of our program, the results of the assessment are compiled anonymously. The tools used vary from class to class, and will include graded and possibly non-graded assignments. During the fall of 2018, we will be assessing skills by using indicators that measure your ability to “locate and assess information from printed sources, electronic sources, and observation.” |

UW Behavior Intervention
The University of Wisconsin-Colleges is committed to the safety and success of all members of the campus community. To support this initiative, each one of the UWC's campuses has a Behavioral Intervention Team which works to support campus community members, including students, by reaching out and providing resources in areas where an individual may be struggling or experiencing barriers to their success. The program allows faculty to be proactive, supportive, and involved in facilitating the success of our students through early detection, reporting, and intervention. As your faculty member, I may contact the Behavioral Intervention Team if I sense you are in need of additional support which individually I may not be able to provide. You may also contact the Behavioral Intervention Team if you or another member of our campus community needs support, is distressed, or exhibits concerning behavior that is interfering with the academic or personal success or the safety of others, by reporting here: https://tinyurl.com/bit-manitowoc |
UW Title IX
UW Colleges faculty and staff are committed to supporting our students and upholding the UW Colleges policies and federal laws as outline by Title IX. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects individuals from discrimination based on sex and gender in any educational program or activity operated by recipients of federal financial assistance. Sexual violence, such as sexual harassment and sexual assault, are prohibited by Title IX. If you or a friend experience an incident of sex or gender based discrimination, we encourage you to report it. There are many resources available to assist you. If a student chooses to confide in a UW Colleges faculty or staff member regarding an issue of sexual violence or discrimination, as a “Responsible Employee” the faculty or staff member will need to share this information with the UW Colleges’ Title IX Deputy Coordinator. The Title IX Deputy Coordinator will assist the student in connecting with all possible resources both on and off campus. You can reach Kristine McCaslin, the Title IX Deputy Coordinator at (715) 261-6212 or [email protected]. If you would like to speak with someone who is not required to report to the Title IX Deputy Coordinator, the campus counselor is a confidential resource for you. You can contact the counselor by (920) 459-6684. For more information regarding your rights and resources, please refer to the UW Colleges’ Title IX website: https://tinyurl.com/UWCTitleIX You are not alone. Please reach out. |
