All colleges and universities examine teaching practice and student learning in order to improve the education provided to students. At LaGuardia, this process is called Program Assessment. And we do it, in part, with samples of class work that students place in the Program Assessment folder in the ePortfolio system.

At different points in your career, you will be asked to remove your name from samples of class work and place it in the Program Assessment folder in the ePortfolio system. This work will NOT be used to make judgments about you and your individual progress. Instead, the college will use your work, anonymously, to better understand what students learn at the college and how the college can help them learn better.

When you place work in the Program Assessment folder, please remove your name, your Professor's name, and the section number of your course, so that the college can consider your work anonymously. Samples of class work will be stored confidentially. Your name will never be used in any part of the Program Assessment process.
You have the right to decide that you do not want your work used in the Program Assessment process. Your decision will not affect your grade or your status at the college. Please check one of the boxes, below, to tell us whether your work can be used to improve teaching and learning at LaGuardia.

We appreciate your participation in this process, which will help improve the education provided to all LaGuardia students. If you have questions about the Program Assessment process, contact cmachesk@lagcc.cuny.edu, or call Cecilia Macheski, the Assessment Coordinator, at 718-482-5685.
