Overview of Assessment at Lansing Community College (LCC)

Here at Lansing Community College, the goals of assessment work are to learn about student learning and to produce usable student learning data for faculty. Assessment provides feedback that tells the story of student learning in a course and gives some insight into how student learning may be improved. Specifically, who is learning, what are they learning, and what circumstances facilitate learning. Assessment is the process we use to continuously seek feedback about learning.

Higher Learning Commission (HLC) defines assessment as: The systematic collection, examination, and interpretation of qualitative and quantitative data about student learning and the use of that information to document and improve student learning.

Faculty participate in student assessment initiatives and use the data/information to improve student learning.
