- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts presents
Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design
Featuring recent student work from Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography
Exhibition Dates: 3/2- 4/1
Reception: Tuesday, March 3rd, 4 pm to 6 pm
Artist Talk at 5 pm during the reception, titled Re.Membered: The Art of Collaboration
The UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts is pleased to present the third annual Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design on display from March 2 through April 1, 2015.
The opening reception will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 4 to 6 pm, with the Artist Talk, presented by students of both Design and Art History at 5 pm. This exhibition features recent work from students in Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography, along with a slide show of these same young artists engaged in activities and processes relative to their CVPA experience.
The Department of Visual Design is a cluster of professionally-oriented options: Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. Visual design is an art form, a craft, and a means of information dissemination for education, business, commerce, editorial and entertainment industries. Students earning their BFA in one of these four areas explore visual communication in the widest sense, employing both traditional (analog) and contemporary electronic and computer technologies.
The examples in this exhibition demonstrate that our broadly educated student visual artists/designers are both literate and articulate and capable of participating on many levels of a wide variety of projects. Bringing together both print and digital media, this exhibition provides insight into how Junior students use visual design as a method of communication.

The Ideal Curricular Assessment
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314
- Contact: Office of Faculty Development
- Description: The Ideal Curricular Assessment—An Easily Administered, Computerized Simulation to Assess Students’ Abilities to Use What They’ve Learned to Solve Real-World Problems
Abstract:
The Undergraduate Affairs Committee (UAC) of the Psychology Department feels strongly that if we are to use assessment of student learning outcomes as a basis for continuous improvement, the assessment should be of something that matters to us. We believe that the most important gift we can give undergraduates is a skill set that permits them to reason empirically, critically, and independently. Toward that end we developed a set of web-based simulations in which the students are asked to advise a group of their relatives who are researching a specific claim. We based our simulations on a similar set developed and validated with computer engineering students. We developed four different simulations and have given the first two assessments to sophomore and senior Psychology majors. Our first goal is to see if the seniors have developed these skills relative to the sophomores. Our second goal is to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses so we can revise our curriculum to address the weaknesses. This presentation will describe the development process, demonstrate the simulation, describe our preliminary results, and discuss our future plans, including closing the loop on both the students’ performance and on our assessment.
