Home About CLC Who We Are Assessment

Assessment at College of Lake County

CLC is committed to continuous improvement of student learning through regular and systematic assessment. This consists of clearly communicating our learning outcomes and expectations and monitoring student achievement of these learning outcomes at different levels—within courses, in departments, and across the institution. In support of this, assessment of student learning is led by faculty through the Assessment of Student Learning Committee.

Why We Do It

  • 评估结果为学生的知识和能力提供了证据。我们分析这些证据，以瞄准资源并制定策略来帮助学生更好地学习。
  • 评估过程使教师获得关于学生的有价值的知识，这导致更有针对性和有效的教学。
  • Each department uses assessment data to ensure students will meet the expectations of employers and transfer institutions when they leave CLC.

How We Do It

  1. Good assessment starts with clear learning outcomes. Every three to five years, the CLC Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are reviewed to ensure they are still relevant to employers and transfer institutions.
  2. 每学期，所有八项CLOs都要进行评估。教师通过从他们的课堂上选择一项作业，并使用一个标准来评估学生在特定的CLO上的表现。
  3. 评估结果会在整个机构中汇总并分析，以确定我们可以如何影响学生的学习。由此产生的行动可以包括为学生提供新的资源材料，为教师提供专业发展经验，课程改革，或扩大为学生提供的服务。
