allowed me to adjust what I intend as outcomes for my
students. We have objectives for courses in 4-year institutions
that are sometimes only assumed; in the community college
we build these objectives more concretely into our courses.

centered on getting to know the community college
system and services provided. …This course
has spelled this out very clearly for me.” - Diablo

the section on how to create a good course syllabus

use different methods of evaluation.” - Diablo Valley

more successful.” - Riverside Community College
