  11. Academic Senate Student Learning Outcomes Whereas, the ultimate goal of the SLO-assessment process is to prompt dialog that leads to improvement of student learning, Whereas, the MPC Academic Senate wants to encourage wide-spread participation in the SLO-assessment process by broadening the kind and range of student skills and abilities that faculty members may choose to investigate when engaging in the SLO-assessment process, Resolved, that the MPC Academic Senate recommends that faculty members use broadly defined SLOs and/or specifically defined objectives, as they deem appropriate, when engaging in the SLO-Assessment process to improve student learning.
