Results of Assessment
2006-2007 (submitted 04/28/08)
The WSU Athletic Training
Education Program (ATEP) uses several assessment tools to evaluate the quality
of individual courses and instructors, the quality of the clinical experiences
and clinical affiliations, the satisfaction of the students in the program, the
satisfaction of the freshmen observation students, the performance of each
student following each clinical rotation, and the satisfaction with the
education provided by our graduates and employers of graduates. This document
summarizes the findings of the ATEP for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007.
