The self-study is a reflective, analytical, self-critical, and evaluative internal review of your program offerings, achievements, resources, and pitfalls. Effective self-studies are:
- aimed at quality improvement and self-appraisal.
- an analysis of strengths and weaknesses, outlining how improvements can be made.
- express degree level expectations and learning outcomes that drive admission requirements, curriculum content, modes of delivery, bases of evaluations of student performance and commitment of resources.
Detailed requirements are outlined in the University of Windsor's Institutional Quality Assurance Process.
