Black Hawk College is committed to providing a learning-centered environment. Faculty are interested in students’ mastery of course content as well as the process by which students acquire knowledge. Students develop skills and adapt concepts that will support them throughout life as effective citizens as well as professionals in their fields.
The assessment of student learning is one very important component of a learning-centered environment. Assessment is an ongoing, systematic process that measures student learning. Through feedback processes, this assessment also provides a means to improve student learning at Black Hawk College.
The assessment of student learning includes:
- Developing outcomes for student learning
- Selecting appropriate assessment measures
- Systematically collecting, analyzing, and interpreting these measures
- Using feedback loops to make changes to improve student learning
Students play a significant role in their learning and the assessment process. They have opportunities to learn how the assessment process works, how the results will benefit them, and how to become active participants in the process.
