Fall 2008 Only

The Collegial Learning Assessment (CLA), an intiative of the Office of University Evaluation, is part of ASU's effort to assess its success in helping students develop critical thinking, reading and writing skills through the undergraduate curriculum.

In Fall 2008, the Writing Programs are contributing to this effort by allowing the Office of University Evaluation to implement the CLA through the first-year composition courses, including ENG 101, 102, 105, 107, 108 and 111 as well as WAC 101 and 107 (including hybrid and online sections).
