Judging Instructions
West's Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLOs)
In conjunction with the Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) Committee, faculty and staff will evaluate posters according to the mapped ISLO. The poster session is a valuable tool for students to demonstrate learning at the Program and Institutional Student Learning Outcome levels and a way for the college to assess these levels of learning. These ratings will have no bearing on the judging for prizes.
