Student Learning Outcomes
Student Learning Outcomes are statements that specify what students will know, be able to do or be able to demonstrate when they have completed or participated in a Course or Program. SLO’s specify an action by the student that must be observable, measurable, and able to be demonstrated.
Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLO’s) describe the abilities, skills and knowledge that students will acquire at CPC where such skills and knowledge are also aligned with the mission of the college. As part of the experience, students will also develop attitudes and outlooks befitting a college-educated person.
Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLO’s) are specific to a discipline, department or program that offers Degrees or Certificates.
The ISLO’s and the ISPL’s at CPC are outlined below:
