Assessment Process Assumptions

• Quality cannot be defined but can be recognized
  by the customer
• Quality is determined by the customer not the
  supplier
• It is only possible to do your job well when you
  understand what is expected
• Everyone wants to and can do quality work

15
Assessment Process Issues

• You must first MEET Expectations before you
  can EXCEED Expectations
• The faculty is responsible for defining
  expectations i.e., what is required to MEET
  customer expectations!
• Students are responsible for determining what is
  required to EXCEED customer expectations!
• Work can be resubmitted ONCE to MEET ( but
  NOT EXCEED !! ) Expectations
