Using Total Quality Processes and Learning Outcome Assessments to Develop Management Curricula

Abstract: A process was designed to identify what total quality skills should be included in the authors curriculum and howto deliver them. Customer data led the authors to change their focus toward exploring and assessing what they do in the entire curriculum. The emphasis on learning outcomes is a theme in American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business and education reform. The authors summarize things learned that may help others avoid certain pitfalls and build on the authors progress to date.

“…She identified the outcomes activities of a number of institutions, noting the benefits of acquiring feedback from students, for example, and the development of a student handbook.
