In the boxes below, summarize
the results of your assessment
activities during the last year.
In the boxes below, summarize
how you are or how you plan to
use the results to improve student
learning.
Based on the results of this
assessment, will you revise your
outcomes? If so, please
summarize how and why in the
boxes below:
The following is a breakdown of
grades measured by written
examinations with a
predetermined grading rubric:
A=64%; 8:024%; C""5%; 0::2%;
f=:)%
Continue to make personal
connections with the students
(i.e.: know names, be sensitive to
kinesthetic comforts, etc.) to
encourage attendance and
participation in cultural
understanding explored in class.
Analysis of the cultural dance
styles is inherent in the written
examinations.
This outcome need not be revised
The ability to analyze various
dance styles will be measured by
written examinations using a
predetermined rubric.
Attendance and participation
constitutes 50% of the student' s
grade. Full participation and
application of lecture material
and research to assignments
reflect the student's depth of
knowledge and critical thought
when identifying cultural dance
cues, cultural influence and
social belief systems.
Continue to begin with the large
group discussions and slowly
transition to smaller discussion
groups helps to facilitate
participation. Knowing the
names of the students and the
student engagement level helps
to dictate the depth of study
directed by the instructor. There
is constant, instantaneous
feedback as to participation level.
The learning outcome is valid
and need not be changed, but we
might consider putting the course
as a CANVAS assist course
where students can access their
attendance and participation
records themselves to see where
they stand point-wise.
Outcome #I
Students will analyze various
dance styles
Outcome# 2
Students will identify and
associate trends in dance with
emphasis on multicultural dance
The ability to identify and
associate trends in dance with
emphasis on multicultural dance
will be measured by using a
discussion point system using
predetermined standards.

Outcome #3
Students will reinforce
knowledge of various dance
concepts
The ability to reinforce
knowledge of various dance
styles via live demonstrations
and class discussions will be
measured using a
participation/discussion point
system using a predetermined
rubric
The participation/discussion
point system and reinforcement
of styles was applied to the
verbal discussions in response to
teacher directed multicultural
dance examples along with
verbal discussions in response to
student directed multicultural
dance examples. A pre-class
sample of understanding of
cultural differences in dance was
compared to a post-class sample
of understanding. The grade
breakdown for the student
directed examples; A=73%;
8=23%; C=3%; D=Oo/o; F= J%
Page 2
The reflection on personal
understanding the first day of
class and the reexamination of
that personal understanding at the
end of the semester show a
remarkable growth of
understanding of the cultural
values of dance. The scores for
the student demonstration at the
end of the semester validate the
importance of the learning
outcome.
This learning objective is valid
and an integral part of the course.
Once again, a suggestion might
be to make this course a
CANVAS assist course for the
ease of accessibility to feedback.
