Assessment
Assessment of General Education
Assessment of learning outcomes is an essential component of the General Education program. Assessment refers to the process of using students’ work to verify that learning outcomes desired by the faculty and institution are being achieved and that appropriate action is being taken to assure continuous improvement. Each of the learning outcomes is demonstrated by means of formal student expression; this may be written, oral, artistic, ASL, or Braille as appropriate.
We are currently in the third cycle to the course assessment and renewal process.
