 Course – measures student learning upon completion of a particular course  Program – measures student learning upon completion of a particular degree or certificate  General Education – measures what the college expects students to know and be able to do upon completion of an A.A. or A.S. degree

 Define student learning outcomes (already done if they are contained in the COR or PLOs – do they need editing?)  Determine whether, and to what extent, students can perform or apply these outcomes  Use the information to make improvements in instruction and learning (if improvements are deemed needed)

Student learning outcomes and authentic assessment are in place for courses, programs, and degrees Results of assessment are being used for improvement and further alignment of institution-wide practices There is widespread dialogue about the results Decision-making includes dialogue on the results of assessment and is purposefully directed toward improving student learning

Appropriate resources continue to be allocated and fine-tuned Comprehensive assessment reports exist and are completed on a regular basis Course student learning outcomes are aligned with degree student learning outcomes Students demonstrate awareness of goals and purposes of courses and programs in which they are enrolled
