Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) is the standardized and nationally normed assessment program that enables the institution to assess, evaluate, and enhance student learning outcomes. UW-Superior participates in this program primarily to fulfill one of the requirements for the Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA) and administrates "Writing" and "Critical Thinking" modules to a sample of first-year students and seniors, once every three years.
The aggregated results indicated that our seniors were above national average for essay writing and critical thinking.
