Augsburg: Above-Average
Value-Added Education
2
Our Hidden Asset
In the December faculty meeting, President
Pribbenow said "Augsburg must leverage its
assets." I agree.
I believe that Augsburg has an asset – an
intellectual asset: an asset that the faculty
creates and can be proud of.
This asset is the
Augsburg value-added
education
: the intellectual improvement that
Augsburg provides for its students.

CLA: College Learning Assessment
A 90 minute test of critical thinking.
Involves students writing essays involving claims
and reasons (arguments).
I think this is the best 90 minute test of critical
thinking currently available.
Given to Freshman and to Seniors.
Used by over 170 US colleges and universities.

Augsburg is
above-average
in adding value:
•
in critical reading and evaluation.
•
in scientific and quantitative reasoning.
•
in argumentation.
I teach statistical literacy; I am aware of lots of
statistical problems.
But I have taught remedial critical thinking. I
think these statistics reflect what we are doing.
Summary

Closing
Touting Augsburg as a leader in
value-added
education
will enhance our reputation and allow
us to attract more students.
Adding value is something we do already. This
is something we can do better.
To survive tough times, we – as a faculty –
should commit to doing this well.
Food for thought!

I'd like to see our faculty support the CLA
challenge. I think we can do even more to help
our students construct arguments that are strong,
sound and persuasive while being sensitive to the
views and opinions of others.
I'd like to see us require that all entering students
and all graduating students take this assessment –
with the option to have their scores recorded on
their transcript.
