| Welcome to the
Office of Institutional Assessment and Institutional Effectiveness web
site of Southeast Arkansas College.
To help you better
understand the importance of this web site, let me brief you
on the importance of the role of assessment of student academic achievement
in evaluating the effectiveness of the College as a whole. SEARK College
believes that teaching and learning are at the very core of all of
the College’s activities. Assessment therefore, comprises all
of the activities and processes which affect student learning.
Assessment is one
of the major tools used by SEARK College to improve and maintain the quality
of education and services that are provided to our customers (students).
Therefore, assessment is the responsibility of every person involved with
the College including administration, faculty, staff, students, and even
the community.
Assessment data
for 2003-2004 is published in THE FOCUS - ISSUE #5 as an update to
the 2002-2003 Annual Report on Assessment and Institutional Effectiveness.
The 2002-2003 report was comprehensive and remains accessible to the
public at http://www.seark.edu/assess/Annual_Report_July_2003.pdf.
Both reports highlight data which demonstrates that SEARK College students
are achieving great strides in meeting academic challenges. The report
further shows evidence that Assessment of student academic achievement
is a priority for the entire SEARK College community. This commitment
is shown by the level of involvement of every division and department
of the College.
Should you have specific
concerns or questions regarding assessment, please contact Diann Williams,
Vice President of Assessment & Institutional Effectiveness and Nursing/Allied
Health by email (dwilliams@seark.edu).
