DLO Assessment

Degree Learning Outcome (DLO) assessment measures how instruction contributes to the achievement of TCC’s Core Themes and our mission and vision. Please see the revised DLO language here:

Core of Knowledge: Basic knowledge of Written Communication, Humanities, Quantitative Skills, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences.

Communication: Ability to listen, speak, read, and write effectively, and use nonverbal and technological means to communicate.

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving: Compare, analyze and evaluate information and ideas to solve problems.

Information & Information Technology: Locate, evaluate, retrieve and ethically use relevant and current information for academic or professional/ technical applications.

Intercultural Collaboration & Diversity: Apply an interdependent, diverse, and multicultural worldview through collaborative engagement.

Responsibility & Ethics: Understand what is responsible and ethical behavior toward individuals, the community and the environment.

In our efforts to continue our work to improve student achievement, The College-Wide Learning Assessment Committee (CLAC) is a group of faculty from every division who assess DLO’s on a 3-Year Cycle. The Chair of CLAC, Corrine Jarvis, sends out invitations to collect/encourage faculty to submit course artifacts for DLO assessment

For faculty to participate in this process, just remember to send your work in to the CLAC co-chairs as invitation for course artifacts are sent. CLAC members usually work with e-learning and take it from there in using a shared rubric to score the artifacts.
