1 Appendix B2: “Closing the Loop” Course‐Level Assessment Reflections. Course Semester assessment data gathered Number of sections offered in the semester Number of sections assessed Percentage of sections assessed Semester held “Closing the Loop” discussion Faculty members involved in “Closing the Loop” discussion Form Instructions:  Complete a separate Appendix B2 form for each Course‐Level assessment reported in this Program Review. These courses should be listed in Appendix B1: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Reporting Schedule.  Part I: CLO Data Reporting. For each CLO, obtain Class Achievement data in aggregate for all sections assessed in eLumen.  Part II: CLO Reflections. Based on student success reported in Part I, reflect on the individual CLO.  Part III: Course Reflection. In reviewing all the CLOs and your findings, reflect on the course as a whole. PART I: COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOMES – DATA RESULTS ALL CLO’S FOR THE DH PROGRAM AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST‐ATTACHED TO THE 2012‐13 PR Defined Target Scores* (CLO Goal) CONSIDER THE COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOMES INDIVIDUALLY (THE NUMBER OF CLOS WILL DIFFER BY COURSE) (CLO) 1: (CLO) 2: (CLO) 3: (CLO) 4: Actual Scores** (eLumen data)  If more CLOs are listed for the course, add another row to the table. * Defined Target Scores: What scores in eLumen from your students would indicate success for this CLO? (Example: 75% of the class scored either 3 or 4) **Actual scores: What is the actual percent of students that meet defined target based on the eLumen data collected in this assessment cycle? 2 PART II: COURSE‐ LEVEL OUTCOME REFLECTIONS A. COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 1: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? The dental hygiene program has had an excellent success rate. For the past 9 years, the students have all passed the national Dental Hygiene Board Exam, generally with an average score that exceeds the national average. For the past 3 years, all of the graduates have passed the clinical dental hygiene state exam. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? The faculty is continually updating and evaluating course content, evaluation and assessment mechanisms as well as working to implement teaching strategies that promote student success. Academically, the students are very successful in the individual courses. Any attrition has been largely due to students facing life changes that necessitate withdrawal from the program. PART III: COURSE REFLECTIONS AND FUTURE PLANS 1. What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? The DH Program Faculty and Staff are continually updating curriculum, policies and procedures and protocols. We are having monthly coordinator meetings, as well as mandatory calibration meetings each semester. Seminar notes are disseminated every week to clinical faculty to address student/faculty concerns as they pertain to clinic and patient care. We are in the process of putting all of our course level evaluation surveys on survey monkey. This will allow us to track the data electronically and make course level revisions as needed. 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course‐level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? 3 Our success rate has been outstanding. The past three years, the students have had a 100% pass rate on the clinical exam‐the state average is 86%. For the past nine years, the students have had a 100% pass rate on the National Exam. The faculty and staff work continually to make changes based on student feedback and feedback from faculty coordination meetings to make improvements. 3. What is the nature of the planned actions (please check all that apply)?
