Mott Community College has three overarching essential learning outcomes: critical
thinking, citizenship, and global awareness. MCC participates in the following three
assessments to measure each of these outcomes as well as drive curriculum change and
professional development. They are:
- Community College Survey of Student Engagement/Community College Faculty Survey of
Student Engagement (CCSSE/CCFSSE): This is a national assessment administered biannually
in odd-numbered winter semesters to assess student engagement in a number of areas
including the three essential learning outcomes
- Essential Learning Outcomes Assessment (ELOA): This a locally prepared instrument
is administered every fall semester. It directly measures MCC students engagement
with the three overarching essential learning outcomes.
- Course Level Assessment (CLA): this custom tool is administered every winter semester
and rotates on a five-year, group cycle. During the five-year cycle all faculty, across
all courses assess the effectiveness of their course level learning outcomes. Here
they reflect, in their own words on how they can increase or maintain proficiency
and mastery in their course.
