Descripción: Computer graphics is a fast growing field of study, which has many variable course offerings to accommodate the ever-changing technology. The differences and ambiguities in course names and degree offerings can best be explained and quantified through assessment measures. The assessment measures identify the scope of each assignment and course and identify program and department learning objectives and outcomes, and show how they are related to each other.  Assessment measures also set the stage for future accreditation of a computer graphics program. This paper will discuss how to begin the assessment process for the program as a whole, and how to facilitate and use course embedded assessments within a computer graphics program and within supporting courses in other disciplines.  By having a plan and a template of assessment measurement for faculty, beginning course-embedded assessments becomes an easier task for the busy faculty and will greatly improve the continuity of course offerings within the ever changing computer graphics field.
