Assessment at Oakland Community College

Mission
The Mission of the college-wide Student Outcomes Assessment Committee is to implement student outcomes and assessment at all levels of the institution. As it moves the college from content-centered to learner-centered, and from teacher-centered to student-centered, the assessment outcomes process enhances the quality of the learning experience of students.
Assessment is an on-going process aimed at understanding and improving student learning. It involves making our expectations clear to students and setting appropriate outcomes for learning.
