Teaching and Assessment
Mission
The mission of the Teaching and Assessment Committee (TAC) is to recommend pedagogical and assessment practices that lead to student success and improve faculty teaching. As representatives of the Faculty Senate, a subcommittee of TAC serves on the Program Review and Academic Advisory Council to ensure that program outcomes are achieved, are consistent with the mission of the College, and are responsive to the evolving needs of our students.
