- Standard10: Faculty
- a: The implementation of a college-wide, mandatory annual student evaluation of part-time and full-time instructional personnel is recommended. A student evaluation process would represent a positive step by which the faculty can receive a review of their teaching styles as perceived by their students and through which students can express their perceptions about instructors, courses, programs, and the college. Student evaluations need not and should not be perceived as punitive, but can be used by individual faculty for self-reflection and improvement as well as for professional advancement within the college. The student evaluation can also serve as an excellent source of affirmation and validation of teaching skills and interpersonal relations, but can also serve as an instrument for professional development. It is interesting to note that informal, unofficial evaluations for some faculty members are currently available on “www.ratemyprofessors.com.”

- Standard11: Educational Offerings
- a: While there is a current adopted standard for the preparation of course syllabi, the standard does not include goals written in terms of student outcomes. Further, the course syllabi, in general, do not incorporate expected assessable student learning outcomes. While there is evidence of some college-wide program assessment plans, they appear inadequate to meet the college’s requirement to provide a college-wide assessment program. Providing a framework for preparation of course and program goals written in terms of student outcomes will require that a comprehensive college-wide assessment program be developed and implemented.

- b: It is recommended that Orange County Community College develop a comprehensive assessment program, which links the assessment of student learning and program outcomes relative to program and College goals and objectives. It is further recommended that program and course goals be stated in terms of student learning outcomes. The student learning outcomes can, and should, then be used to evaluate the effectiveness of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular learning experiences.

- Standard13: Related Educational Activities
- a: Developmental student learning is very important for the success of under-prepared students. As the college does not utilize consistent, student-specific data on the progress of these students, appropriate resources should be made available to assist the Developmental Education Program in tracking the progress of students and assessing their success after completion of developmental courses. Adequate software, and qualified and sufficient staffing to effectively and efficiently utilize it, should be available to gather important data about the progress of students.
