The College’s academic programs engage in an annual process of assessing student learning that allows for course-embedded assessment to inform faculty about the success of students in achieving program level Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs).
By utilizing a variety of courses which have course level SLOs aligned with program level SLOs, the annual assessment of student learning provides useful, relevant, and necessary information that assists faculty and chairs in making adjustments designed to improve student learning and the likelihood that students demonstrate achievement of the program level SLOs.
Academic programs use curriculum maps and assessment calendars to assist with choosing which courses to assess. In making these decisions, academic programs must include the assessment of not only the program specific SLOs, but also the general education outcomes contained within the syllabi.
