. The Legislature finds and declares both of the following:
(a) The primary goal of every higher educational institution
should be to provide a collegiate experience that gives each student
the skills of communication and problemsolving, the ideas and
principles underlying the major areas of modern knowledge, the
ability to consider critical issues thoughtfully, the understanding
that learning is a continuous lifelong process, and the knowledge of
democracy necessary for good citizenship.
(b) To improve performance, educational institutions are
encouraged to use effective assessment mechanisms based on positive
reinforcement, incentives, and cooperation.
