Another rich collection of faculty classroom strategies was developed by the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment from faculty responses to the end-of-program survey. Through this survey, faculty have shared strategies for incorporating the four divisions of the liberal arts (the Arts, the Sciences, the Humanities, and the Social Sciences) and four key skill areas (Critical Thinking, Information Technology Literacy, Quantitative Reasoning, and Writing). This compilation is available on the End-of-Program Review Assessment page.

The Washington Center for Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Education also provides resources to faculty on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
