Performance-based Instruction Offers Many Advantages
- What you will learn is based on the skills you will need rather than on outlines of information.
- You know the standards for evaluation before the performance test. You earn a grade according to how well you perform the skills rather than according to how well others in the class perform. You are not graded on a curve.
- You are actively involved in the learning. We design learning activities and assignments that teach you to solve problems and to learn on your own.
- When you complete a learning experience, you have documentation showing the skills you have learned. You can use this information when you seek employment, admission to further education, advanced standing or transfer of credit.
