Last week, FXUA Faculty and Staff actively participated in a 90-minute workshop hosted by the Curriculum Development and Instructional Design Department, focusing on effective assessments for student learning. The workshop introduced the assessment cycle, emphasizing how its four phases—teach, measure, reflect, plan, and improve—aid students in monitoring their progress and achieving learning goals. The participants were engaged in practical exercises on designing effective assessments and explored examples of both summative and formative assessments. Additionally, the workshop provided insights into using effective assessment tools within Canvas, FXUA’s learning management system.

We take pride in our educators' continuous learning to provide the best practices for our students!

: Meet Rasha Taha Al Hawamdeh, a Business Administration major at FXUA. Here’s her story of why she chose FXUA:

Being an international student at FXUA for the second year elevated my educational, intellectual skills, and standards. The unique small setting and professional team enhanced our leadership skills and helped us to adapt a scientific process in critical thinking and problem-solving strategies. The well-designed courses created competent and challenging classes that flavored the learning process. I believe the diverse and intimate setting lessened the homesickness feeling of being far away from our loved ones. FXUA spares no effort to remove all obstacles to prepare students for local and international markets armed with universal technical standards.

We couldn’t be proud of our FXUA Tigers! Thank you, Rasha for sharing with us! 🐯

Is there anything prettier than fall on campus? Happy Friday, Tigers! 🍂
