There is a growing emphasis toward assessing what level of learning students acquire in the courses they take at the university level. The question most commonly asked is "What fundamental skills are our students learning in our courses and taking with them when they leave?" Armed with assessment data, changes can be made to a course to correct for inadequacies in meeting the learning goals of the course. Presented in this talk will be one example of an assessment tool that is in the process of being administered to students in our general education, introductory astronomy course. This assessment tool is in the form of a pre-test and a post-test. It is designed to assess the amount of learning gained during the course by our students in the areas of general scientific knowledge, mathematical reasoning, and the interpretation of graphical data.
