Palomar College - Learning for Success

Defining, Writing, and Assessing Student Learning Outcomes

Accreditation standards require that the college define and articulate outcomes for courses, programs, the institutional, and service areas. In order for us to meet proficiency level by 2012, we must demonstrate that we have also assessed the outcomes and that we are using the analyses of those results as a basis for planning and changes that will improve student learning.

Learning Outcomes and their assessment plans should be designed in such a way that they will provide us with useful information. The Student Learning Outcome Cycle is constructed so that we can gain valuable, ongoing information about our institution. This continuous self-examination and assessment will lead to opportunities for systematic and organized improvements for our students.
