OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENTS
1. COURSE OUTCOME5/OBJECTIVES:
List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate some of them in terms of specific measurable
student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills to be attained as a result of completing this
course. For degree-applicable courses, include objectives in the area of “critical thinking.” Upon successful
completion of this course, the student will be able to:
The student will be able to identify particular art styles, techniques and forms distinct to specific cultural and
geographic regions, understand basic stylistic and iconographic methods of interpretation, understand historical
change in tribal arts usually perceived as of “static.” He/she will also have an increased awareness of certain
stereotypes of non-Western arts and cultures and how indigenous artists have actively responded to particular
historical circumstances.
2. COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed
for non-credit courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain,
assess, anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations,
etc.
Students will learn to look at visual images and discuss how they reveal history. They will think critically about
certain class readings n order to better understand methodological approaches to non-Western tribal arts. They
must learn to apply concepts to study slides and apply art historical analysis on exams.
3. ASSESSMENT
Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category 1I is not
checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least
part of the grade.
1. Substantial writing assignments, including:
essay exam(s)
term or other paper(s)
laboratory report(s)
written homework
reading report(s)
other (specify) Report on Art Project_____
If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate because:
The course is primarily computational in nature.
The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
Other rationale (explain) __________________________________________
2. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including:
exam(s)
quizzes
homework problems
laboratory report(s)
field work
other (specify)_______
3. Skill demonstrations, including:
class performance(s)
other (specify)____
4. Objective examinations, including:
multiple choice
completion
field work
performance exam(s)
true/false
other (specify)
matching items
