Proposal Criteria

Proposals are evaluated according to the following criteria. Proposals are not required to meet all of the defined conditions. Rather, the criteria serve as a guideline for Institute of Teaching and Learning's past and current participants to develop proposals, and for the CAP Committee to select qualified proposals. Applicants may only submit one proposal per semester. The main criteria are:

• Can the project realistically be completed in one semester?

• Are the objectives of the proposal clearly stated and realistic?

• Is the proposed methodology and research design well conceived?

• Is the relevance to student learning clearly stated and significant?

• Is the relevance to instructional improvement clearly stated and significant?

• Can the project or elements of the project be successfully implemented, adopted, or adapted in other educational settings?

• And, does the project make direct connection to classroom learning and student success.
