Assessment is
the systematic and ongoing process of collecting and analyzing data and
information that,
a) result in continuing improvement and,
b) demonstrates that the College is effectively accomplishing it’s
mission. Assessment of institutional effectiveness is not a one-time
activity; rather, it is evolutionary, ongoing, and incremental.
The results are used in planning, decision-making, and resource
allocation. While assessment is an overall institutional concern, as
reflected in the various standards for accreditation, its primary focus
is the teaching-learning experience.
