The Oglala Lakota College Graduate Policy states “All graduate Candidates enrolled in a program must receive at least a “B” in each course to
remain in good standing” (OLC graduate policy, 2012). Assessment methods reflect all methods used in course syllabi. The assessment tool
category lists the artifact used to aggregate Candidate performance in each class in relation to the course goals and the student learning
objectives for this course. Graduate faculty and Adjunct faculty must complete both, the student learning objective sheet and the course
objectives after each class. Graduate faculty and Adjunct faculty evaluate and assess the course outcomes to provide a possible explanation of
why the results were desirable and/or undesirable, propose changes or strategies to improve outcome if applicable, and provide
recommendations for planning and budgeting to improve outcome if needed.
Note: revise syllabus, add Service Learning Plan for Community Action guidelines
