In the Office of Curricular Assessment and Teaching Support at at the ISU CVM, student learning is one of our highest priorities. In addition to being outstanding researchers and/or clinicians, our instructors are accomplished teachers, and are thoroughly dedicated to student learning. Not only do we focus on great classroom and distance learning, but through the constant efforts of our faculty, instruction-related committees, and Office of Curricular Assessment and Teaching Support we strive to ensure that we are making the best and most informed curricular decisions possible. Scientists understand that advances in understanding occur when important questions are addressed using systematic, theory based, scientific processes of inquiry.
