Assessment of student learning is a systematic attempt to understand what students are, and are not learning and to provide feedback to reinforce student learning.  An effective assessment program can be used to substantially improve student learning, to facilitate institutional improvements, and to validate institutional effectiveness. Assessment at PVCC is an essential component of our commitment to being a learning-centered college.  

Assessment at PVCC includes course assessments, out-of-class assessments, general education assessments, and program review.  Click on the appropriate link in Related Pages to access learning outcomes, forms, sample assessments and results for each type of assessment.
