ROAD

Repository Of Assessment Documents (ROAD)

The ROAD project is designed to assess student writing and critical thinking at YSU. Students are required to upload one paper from Writing 2 (ENGL 1551) and one paper from an upper division course. Randomly selected papers are then evaluated using a rubric developed by a committee of YSU faculty; the evaluation of the papers is administered by the coordinator of the Writing Center.
