Mission

헤라카지노’s assessment of student learning is led by a faculty committee on student learning assessment. Currently, the Senate Committee on Learning Assessment (COLA) includes members from each school/college and a Core program representative. The mission of the committee is as follows: 

• To focus on understanding and improving student learning. Assessment is the tool that can enable a department to determine whether it is meeting its goals in student learning, but it is not the 'end' - it is a means to an end.
• To support and facilitate assessment activities that can best improve student learning.
• To facilitate the development of learning objectives across campus and to facilitate knowledge about these objectives.
• To foster the collection and dissemination of assessment information.
• To support, foster and document the appropriate use of assessment information for program improvement and promotion.
