Student Success Assessment

Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes are statements that specify what learners, our students, will know or be able to do as a result of a given activity. The Division’s Assessment Council presented, and Vice President Bouchard has accepted, a series of DRAFT learning outcomes in June 2009. Outcomes are usually expressed as knowledge, skills, or attitudes. Outcomes should generally take the form of: “The student will be able to…”

Students will learn to…

• Make healthy life choices that reflect a balance of intellectual, emotional, physical, professional, social, and spiritual well-being.
• Respect the diversity of our community as well as the individuality of each member.
• Engage in the life of the university and other communities as participants and leaders.
• Develop goals and identify resources needed for their attainment.
• Communicate effectively, appropriately address and resolve challenges, and manage conflict.
