SCCC Outcome 1 will be assessed and measured by multiple choice questions; essay questions that allow the student to illustrate knowledge, depth of understanding, and creativity; problem-based learning for assessment of thinking and decision-making skills, values, and attitudes.
This could include critical analysis and web-based projects for assessment of acquiring, processing, and evaluation of information.
SCCC Outcome 2 will be assessed and measured by essay questions that allow the student to illustrate knowledge, depth of understanding, and creativity; and problem-based learning for assessment of thinking and decision-making skills, values, and attitudes (this could include critical analysis and web-based projects for assessment of acquiring, processing, and evaluation of information).
SCCC Outcome 4 will be assessed and measured by laboratory procedures for demonstrating the use of lab skills to answer questions; and long-term investigations to assess inquiry and decision-making skills, experimental design, communication and understanding of the scientific process.
SCCC Outcome 5 will be assessed and measured by use of computer simulations, Internet research for the written paper assignment, and use of technological instruments in the student laboratory.
SCCC Outcome 9 will be assessed and measured by laboratory procedures for demonstrating the use of lab skills; observation of how students interact and assist one another in lab; and long-term investigations to assess inquiry and decision-making skills, experimental design, communication and understanding of the scientific process.
