What is Assessment?
The College of Micronesia-FSM has adopted the definition of assessment from Thomas A. Angelo: (AAHE Bulletin, November 1995, P.7)
Assessment is an ongoing process aimed at understanding and improving student learning. It involves making our expectations explicit and public; setting appropriate criteria and high standards for learning quality; systematically gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence to determine how well performance matches those expectations and standards; and using the resulting information to document, explain, and improve performance. When it is embedded effectively within larger institutional systems, assessment can help us focus our collective attention, examine our assumptions, and create a shared academic culture dedicated to assuring and improving the quality of higher education.

"It is urgent that we come up with data-driven results on or before 2010 otherwise the college risks losing its accreditation or face sanctions and lose federal funding, which could mean closing down the college." – Spensin James, May 12, 2008
