Quality Enhancement Plan
#impACT : Incorporating High-Impact Practices to Enhance Student Learning
While still Martin Methodist College, the institution developed a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) as a part of its decennial reaccreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The QEP, Incorporating High-Impact Practices to Enhance Student Learning, identified three goals to enhance students’ learning environment with the aim of achieving a fourth goal–to enhance student success.
The goals are to:
1. Increase the number of HIPs that support the learning outcomes of the QEP,
2. Increase participation in HIPs, particularly by students in historically underserved groups; and
3. Enhance student capabilities as life-long learners, through improvements in the learning environment, as evidenced by performance on the (a) National Survey of Student Engagement’s (NSSE) ten engagement indicators and on the (b) Personal Social Responsibility Inventory’s (PSRI) five dimensions of personal and social responsibility, and the factors of critical thinking and openness to diversity and challenges, and (c) surveys of Tendency Toward Lifetime Learning and perseverance.
The QEP specifies one goal related to overall student success. The goal is to:
4. Contribute to the increase in the university’s student retention and graduation rates by increasing the number of HIPs available to students.
