Assessment at CCD
Common Questions Regarding Assessment
- It increases awareness of what students are learning.
- It provides a framework for faculty discussions of course and program design.
- It is a systematic method for departmental sequencing, planning, and improvements.
- It makes learning intentional by explicitly stating expectations for learning.
Assessment focuses on analyzing student learning to determine whether students have acquired the skills, knowledge, and competencies associated with their program of study.
- Please read our most current copy of our annual assessment report. (Coming Soon!)
Please connect with your Student Learning Committee (SLC) co-chairs Wade Fox or Chris Holcom to get more involved. Thanks!
