“I have been using Watermark Planning & Self-Study primarily for program review, and it has become an indispensable tool in Rock Valley College’s assessment and continuous improvement efforts. The platform simplifies the entire program review process for me from data collection to feedback to sending off the reports. The interface is intuitive and I am able to easily navigate to where I need to go and I am able to easily customize the templates for our state reporting requirements. The Help section is particularly valuable, with many well-written articles that provide clear guidance on how to make the most of the platform’s features. If I cannot find what I need in the Help section, the customer support has been exceptional, and quick with responses.” –
