Purpose
Assessment is a continual practice that establishes clear, concise, and measurable expected student learning outcomes (SLOs). At KCC, we systematically gather, analyze, interpret, and use evidence and data to determine student proficiency of SLOs. We use this evidence and data to understand and to improve student learning and improve quality of instruction.Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs)
KCC's ILOs represent the core abilities students acquire while studying at KCC. These are measurable statements that indicate what students will know or be able to demonstrate at the completion of a course of study. KCC has identified the following as institutional learning outcomes for our graduates:Note: The ILO names are links that lead to suggested sample indicators.
