Chabot College Trends in College-wide Learning Goals
Learning by Current Students and Graduates: 2005-2013
More Chabot students achieved the major faculty-defined college-wide learning goals in 2013 than in 2005, showing that faculty efforts in the areas of
communication, critical thinking, civic responsibility, global and cultural involvement, and the development of the whole person have paid off in increased student
learning over the last 8 years. Both current Chabot students and degree/certificate graduates reported increased levels of learning between 2005 and 2013.
Graduating students reported the highest levels of learning, showing that most learning goals are being achieved by the time students finish their degree or
certificate programs. Current Chabot students are surveyed in a representative sample of course sections during October every other Fall. Chabot degree and
certificate graduates are surveyed at graduation every other May.
