Assessment

Assessment at DACC is an ongoing, purposeful, systematic, transparent, and collaborative process focused on understanding and improving: student learning, the environment for student learning, and all college operations. Assessment uncovers how day-to-day activities contribute to unit goals and outcomes. It provides evidence that illustrates how DACC is achieving our mission, strategic plan, programmatic outcomes, student learning outcomes, support service outcomes, and our commitment to diversity, equity, and access. Finally, assessment is key to making data-informed decisions about curricula, programs, initiatives, and funding within a unit, department, or the institution.

There are many forms of Assessment at DACC including:

• Assessment of Student Learning
