Assessment Process
Assessment Process
Outcomes are refined regularly based on assessment data and review in department meetings. External consultations also occur as needed.
Outcomes are assessed throughout the semester as follows:
- Academic Survey -- given at intake to all students referred to
our program (at the same time they apply for our program) --
questions such as: What are your educational goasl? Do you
understand what you need to do to achieve your education goals?
Units, Prerequisites? Financial aid opportunities.
- Work study survey -- given at intake for students referred to
our work study program. Questions such as: How confident are you
with interviewing? Resumes? Thank you letters? Work experiences? We
also give surveys to the work study supervisors -- so the students
give feedback from their side, and the supervisors from their
side.
- Consultation with students -- one-on-one conversations inside and outside counseling sessions
Data from these assessments are continually discussed within the department with external consultation as available -- including students. Data analysis leads to recommended revisions in the program, which we implement on a reasonable timeline and then reassess per process outlined above.
