Assessment Committee

At Heartland Community College assessment of student learning is woven into the fabric of the institutional life. The work on assessment of student learning outcomes began with the first faculty who were hired in 1991. The establishment of assessment took place in the fiscal years between 1992 and 1994. The original work formed a strong foundation to build the current system upon. However, as this system was refined and brought to its current form, some parts were dropped or modified; and still other new parts were added. In 1997, the organizational structure of Learning Outcomes Departments (LODs) was dropped in favor of a more tightly focused working group, called the Assessment Committee.
