4.2.6 Analyze data from second cohort of Learning Outcomes
Assessment Projects.
4.2.7 Repeat above steps as necessary.
Completion Date Expected Outcome: Fall 2000 and Fall 2003
Notes: Assessment of General Education courses, especially those
that impact large numbers of students, will be an important part
of the evaluation process.
CCBC will evaluate the learning outcomes assessment processes for
developmental education and general education to determine the
degree to which they expand and improve student learning.
Expected Outcome Priority: Primary for Developmental Education;
Secondary for General Education (See
Underprepared Students outcomes for information regarding
Developmental Education)
