3. Transitions: Where do we go from here?
Barbara announced she will no longer be SLO coordinator next year. The search
for a new coordinator is now in process.
The committee decided to schedule a meeting on May 27, to create a plan for
implement in the fall.
Two main questions which need to be answered:
1. What does the complete picture look like?
2. How will we get there?
Currently the main picture entails:
-Every course has an appropriate SLO(s)
-Every program has appropriate SLO(s)
- (Eg. GE is a program)
-College level SLOs
Based on the first question, SLOA members have been asked to review the website of
Cabrillo, Skyline and Grossmont College for their organization of SLOAs.
This website was considered the best: http://pro.cabrillo.edu/slos/index.html

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES ASSEMENT
April 8 & 22, 2008
Assessment Workshop
Was the SLOA training useful and informative? Why-Why not?
-Yes. I know more about SLO and rubrics
-Yes, very informative. As an adjunct instructor, I had heard about SLOs, but I did not
understand how they might impact me.
-Yes, it was. I learned the fact that I can work and complete a single relevant SLO as long
as it reflects the course needs.
- Yes. I thought I knew how to do this, but the workshop filled in a few details I didn't
know.
Do you now understand the Assessment and Rubric aspect of t he SLOA
cycle?
-Yes.
-Yes
-Yes, I do
-Yes
-Yes
If not, how can the committee help? What else would help you gain a better
understanding?
-More workshops like that will help the faculty.
-The committee can encourage full-time faculty to include part-timers in discussions.
Was the information presented clear and precise?
-Yes.
-Information presentation was clear.
-Yes
-Yes, well done. I enjoyed the analogies and examples.
-Yes
Any additional comments?
-None.
-Need to get more faculty involved. There is no sense of urgency on the campus around
SLOAC.
-I would like to thank the committee for putting the workshop together.
-It was useful to discuss this topic and to see how others are approaching SLO’s
-Thank you for providing food and for keeping the workshop short and focused.
- Sorry about taking so long to respond… You know the late- and end-of-semester rush.
