Assessment

Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering information about a particular academic or administrative activity to determine if it is achieving its stated goals.  If the goals are not being met, the information gathered is used to change the activity as needed.

  1. Each Academic Department creates learning goals and each Administrative Office creates institutional effectiveness goals that are aligned with the Mission of the College
  2. From the goals, measurable objectives are created
  3. Measurement tools are created to measure objectives
