More student-student interaction in the form

The Core Four goal of communication requires that we help students
of presentations and peer review. Difficult
improve their communication skills. Group projects and presentations
with classes over cap. Need to keep class size
are an excellent method for fulfilling this outcome but they are
down in ANTHR2.
difficult to fit into class time when the class is too large.
SLO Assessment Progress: In a sentence or two, describe where your department should be on the Revolving Wheel of Assessment (what
assessment you should have done in the last year) and what was actually done. If you’re not sure where you should be on the Revolving Wheel
contact the SLO Coordinator (x6366). If any task was not completed, explain why.
Beginning in Fall 2012, we assessed all of the courses that we have offered since our program plan year. We assessed Communication in Spring
13 and we are currently assessing Global Awareness. We are slated to assess Critical Thinking in Spring 14.
