Assessment

Academic Assessment is the purview of the faculty. This office coordinates faculty assessment of student learning outcomes (SLOs), program learning outcomes (PLOs) and the assessment of the major (AoM). The primary goal of assessment is continuous improvement along with meeting expectations for accreditation. 

• Teaching and Learning Collaborative (TLC) supports teaching excellence by providing dedicated instructional support for credit and noncredit teaching faculty by offering online teaching support, training, workshops, self-paced resources and a dedicated faculty resource space. The TLC coordinator manages Brightspace, our learning management system, and collaborates with faculty in designing and delivering professional development opportunities.
• The Library provides students, faculty, staff and community members with informational resources designed to support the academic programs of the college and promote lifelong learning skills. Library faculty provide instructional and reference support for the college community.

Tutoring

Two tutoring centers are located on the main floor of Scoville Learning Center/Library. These faculty-run centers are supported by the director of assessment and learning resources, but operate independently. Tutoring is free for all students.

• The Center for Reading and Writing
• The MECS Tutoring Center (Math Lab)
• STAR-NY provides free virtual tutoring from 7 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday in most subject areas.
