Outcomes Assessment
Instructional assessment is conducted simultaneously at many different levels throughout the college. At the foundational level, classroom assessment is done by individual faculty within the context of individual classes. Formal and informal evidence of learning is collected and assessed. The results of the assessment are used to inform conversations and activities focused on improving student learning.
- Institution-level Assessment
- Program-level Assessment
- Course-level Assessment
- General Education Assessment
Non-instructional assessment is conducted at the unit level using Service Area Outcomes (SAO’s). As with instructional assessment, evidence of progress for each SAO should be collected and assessed. The results of these assessment activities should inform improvement conversations at the unit, department, discipline, and College levels and provide evidence-based metrics which can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of processes and services.
- Student Services Units
- Administrative and Student Services
The Riverside City College Assessment Committee (RAC) is a standing committee of
the Riverside City College Academic Senate as established by Article III, Section 5 of the Academic Senate By-Laws.
The Assessment Committee recognizes the dual purpose of assessment as both summative
and formative. While the committee strives to meet the external accountability demands
of the accrediting commission and acknowledges the role of assessment in college planning
processes and resource allocation decisions, its focus is on the intrinsic value of
assessment as a means of improving student learning.
The Assessment Committee supports student learning outcomes assessment by facilitating
college-based activities and discussion, and by consulting with and providing guidance
to departments, disciplines, and other units undergoing program review. The committee
seeks to foster engagement in student learning outcomes assessment by encouraging
dialogue related to pedagogy and curriculum and supporting college-wide assessment
efforts.
The Riverside City College Assessment Committee meets once a month and on an as-needed
basis as a standing committee of the Riverside Academic Senate. A representative from
the Riverside Assessment Committee attends Riverside City College Academic Senate
meetings to provide a report of assessment issues and activities.
Meeting Dates
The Committee meets on the 1st Friday of the month from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Digital Library, room 409. All are welcome. You can contact any of the Assessment Committee Co-chairs for the current month's Zoom link to participate
