Center for Assessment & Improvement of Learning
Attention: CAT and COVID-19
Given the current circumstances with COVID-19 and the closure of many campuses, we
will be allowing the online administration of the CAT outside of a proctored setting.
We will work with institutions to setup proctor accounts and specific blocks of time
during which a student can log in and complete the CAT. If have questions about an
online CAT administration, please contact cat@tntech.edu.
Options for Assessing Student Learning
The CAT Instrument is designed to assess a broad range of skills that faculty across the country feel are important components of critical thinking and real world problem solving using short answer essay questions.
Regarding the circumstances of Covid-19 and varients, please see above text in the gold box.
*Students who are enrolled in online courses and/or off-campus students can now take the CAT through our connection with .
