Outcomes and Assessment Committee
The Outcomes Assessment Committee at FCC
All college employees are involved in Outcomes Assessment. The procedures and guidelines are developed by the Outcomes Assessment Committee (OAC) an advisory sub-committee under Program Review. Members of the OAC consist of instructional and non-instructional employees of the college who serve as a resource on outcomes to faculty and staff engaging in the assessment process.
The OAC also is responsible for providing timely feedback to units during their program review process, designing assessments for general education student learning outcomes, reflecting and making recommendations based on those assessments, and maintaining the process of assessment at the college.
