Previous Draft Assessment Projects:

What is sufficient information research competency for COCC students?
(This is Kathy Walsh's suggestion as an assessment question)

What is the "success" of COCC students completing Lib 127?
(This draft is the most complete--it's the one that speaks to me most. 
This draft is based on the Allied Health proposal.)

How effective is the current pre/co requisite of Lib 127?
(This draft is based on the Humanities/Social Sciences proposal.)

Framework for Assessment Proposals:

Goals of COCC Instructional Assessment:

  1. Improve teaching and learning.

  2. Provide vehicles for curricular review and revision within and across departments.

  3. Build foundations for data-driven decision making about programs and curriculum.

  4. Move from articulation of learner outcomes to assessment of student success.

 it is not the evaluation of professors' teaching."
