The findings based on different evaluation methods, including longitudinal survey studies, Collegiate Learning Assessment Plus, secondary analyses of Student Feedback Questionnaire data, qualitative evaluation studies, longitudinal case study and repertory grid test evaluation are first summarized. Based on the findings, the question of whether the 4-year program contributed to the development of desired graduate attributes was explored. Integration of the available evaluation findings suggests that the GUR has helped the undergraduate students to develop the graduate attributes and the new 4-year undergraduate programme can promote the holistic development of the students. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
