V. Topical Outline (Course Content)
One of the goals of the Information Technology Department is to continuously evaluate course content and modify the delivery and subject matter as necessary to provide the students with the best opportunity at success. Part of this is brought about by labor market demands and other changes come about by using outcome assessments. Throughout the course you will be completing assignments, quizzes, and tests and from the scores you receive, you will be able to determine how well you are absorbing the information. As an instructor, I will use your test scores and the assessment model to assess the validity of the material and presentation methodology. All outcomes tie directly into the college’s mission statement and the Information Technology instructional goals.
