Program Assessment: Examines a series of courses and measures the outcomes associated with the completion of that sequence.  It may measure whether or not students are competent at the end of the sequence or whether or not they are prepared moving from one course to the next in the program. 
LLCC has three types of programs:

1. General education
2. Transfer
3. Vocational/Technical

Departmental Assessment:  Specific for each department, this consists of (a) lists of educational objectives for each of the department’s major programs expressed in terms of student learning outcomes; (b) measures of student achievement for each of the objectives; (c) methods of collecting data; (d) procedures for involving departmental faculty in reviewing and using the results of assessment, including revision of the assessment plan when necessary; and (e) annual collection, analysis, and reporting of the results of assessment. 

Course Assessment:  Refers to the assessment of common outcomes for a particular course.  It focus on whether or not students are meeting objectives and treats students in different sections of the same course as an aggregate.  Course objectives are listed in the associated course syllabus. 

Classroom Assessment:  Refers to the individual assessment that instructors conduct as part of their teaching activities.  This assessment leads to better understanding of student needs and better classroom management.  It may connect to course and program assessment but does not have to.

Student Assessment: At the simplest level it measures an individual's learning outcome in a specific subject area.  On a larger scale it measures the overall performance of a learner at Lincoln Land Community college.
