Cochise College Assessment Statement Cochise College is committed to continuous improvement in order to provide the best possible service. A key part of this commitment involves assessing student learning outcomes. Assessment, which occurs apart from the regular grading of student work, is conducted by faculty using tests, research papers, projects, presentations or standardized examinations to discover how well students who have passed a course actually achieved the expected learning goals. Faculty members analyze the results so they can develop strategies to help improve student learning in future classes.
