CSLO Reports
At our institution, we believe in the importance of co-curricular activities in enhancing student learning and development. To measure the effectiveness of these activities, participants complete a survey after each event. This survey is designed to assess how well the activity helped them achieve their desired outcomes.
At the conclusion of each academic year, we compile and analyze the results for each co-curricular student learning outcome. These aggregated reports provide valuable insights into the impact of our programs and help us identify areas for improvement. By continuously assessing and refining our co-curricular offerings, we aim to ensure that they effectively support our students’ growth and success.
