Course Outcome Assessment Report Course: Major Social Problems Outcome: Students should understand the structure of society and identify the major elements of social structure. Terms Included in this Report: Fall, 2009, Spring, 2010 Data Summary: Criteria/Standards Not Proficient Proficient An example of a proficient result for this SLO is when students are able to identify major social institutions and how they fit into the general social order. (Benchmark: 70%) Benchmark Not Achieved 22 (35.5%) 40 (64.5%) Qualitative Data/Comments and Observations No additional information was submitted Inferences: Based on the data presented, the outcomes appear to be consistent in both online and on ground courses. Upon review of the SLO, it is the opinion of the full-time faculty that the SLO may be too broad and should be edited to a more specific and measurable outcome. Action Plan: Full time faculty will consider reviewing and/or replacing the SLO with a more specific measurement. Page 1 of 31 Local Resource Needs: Resource Requests: Request Type Facilities Description Amount Requested The department continues to request the $1000 purchase of a document projector. It is the opinion of the faculty that such a device would enhance our teaching capabilities, and promote student learning.

Page 4 of 31 Inferences: as expected, students must attend class or expect failing grade. Sessions online have long delay at beginner of class due to hardware and software issues. Sporadic participation is expected due to work schedules for which reason students enroll for online class and therefore online meetings are archived for later viewing for students unable to attend. Meetings are provided at various times to meet permit most students to attend one minimum session online. Action Plan: simple solution: provide ability for online students to log on to campus network with software provided (software 'on the cloud'). Current 2010 - 2011 Perkins has provisions for this. Lab administrator is currently working on server configuration and determining probability of this service for Summer / Fall 2011 Local Resource Needs: CAD GIS Lab administrator MUST have support from campus IT to permit student access to server (firewalls) remotely to enable student to perform lessons 'in the cloud.' This is the future of the digital classroom and if any campus department is to lead this charge it certainly should be ours! Resource Requests: Request Type Facilities Description Currently funds provided for 2010 - 2011 for remote classroom. However support from IT for Ruben Agus lab administrator is required to successfully meet challenge of providing our first virtual classroom Summer / fall 2010-2011 Amount Requested $0 Additional Comments: Ruben Agus is working on his thesis related to security issues and student access to lab remotely. I am coordinating with Ruben and consulted what material he needs and currently provided in the 2010 - 2011 Perkins.

Online students may need to be reminded of this SLO. The students on campus might have a better idea of what to expect on exams because I am verbally quizzing them during lectures and discussions. Action Plan: Administer quiz or practice slide i.d. test before exam to both on-campus and Virtual College students.

Little Qualitative Data/Comments and Observations 1. good class of students, 3 students did not attend or irregularly attended and did not submit assignments 2. 4 online students irregularly visited the online BlackBoard page and submitted few if any assigments. 3. Online students will greatly benefit with remote desktop access to perform lessons without installing software. Futhermore I will be able to prepare desktop shrtcuts and install patches. This is extremely important for folks with limited access to computers (they can login Page 9 of 31 from any online computer)) and also for Mac Users (GIS is a PC technology) 4. many of the students are working or attending other schools for which reason several students did not complete class, one started working. Lab can be better improved (server issues currently being examined by lab admin) to provide less frustration by students to perform lessons. Overall, great class .. students performed and participated very good. Inferences: On campus students completed lessons successfully and presented their final lesson as expected. I'd like ot explore emphasizing applications of GIS in the students respective field. There are students needing additional support and I find it difficult providing them support without meeting with each student. Action Plan: In the fall l plan to start each new lesson in the room S309 in smaller room without distraction of monitors and to engage the students more in discussion. I'll have each student submit papers including one, about GIS in general, and two, regarding research using GIS in their respective field. Clearly, the GIS classroom needs a support person for GIS .. I plan to explore what CTE programs can provide some partial funding for a GIS lab support for couple of days each week. Local Resource Needs: For online students, essentially important is the ability to provide student remote access to the lab through the 'cloud computing.' While I was hoping summer 2011 would be targeted staring period, I forsee this will not be available until fall (hopefully). This will make a HUGE difference in noth attrition and participation by avoiding any requirement to install software and downloading data and using the required text by enabling me to preset defaults on our lab stations and having it turn key for starting lessons, following tech from ANY computer regardless if Mac or a compuer in a library, grand parents, etc. Resource Requests: None Additional Comments: Page 10 of 31 Course Outcome Assessment Report Course: Automotive Specialized Elect Outcome: Upon successful completion of this course, Students in the Automotive Technology Program will demonstrate proper use of hand tools, power tools, and service equipment.

Terms Included in this Report: Fall 2012 Data Summary: Criteria/Standards Not Proficient Proficient The students will identify at least three components of an Archaic and Classical statue. (Benchmark: 70%) Benchmark Achieved The students were only able to identify two, one or no components of an Archaic and Classical statue — 198 (26.4%) The students wil be able to identify at least three components of an Archaic and Classical statue. — 552 (73.6%) Qualitative Data/Comments and Observations No additional information was submitted Inferences: Overall, 75% of the students were proficient. There was a difference in the online and on campus students, however. The on campus students were able to do a much better job, even though the numbers were expected to of been higher. The data might indicate that being present in class is a better way of being able to identify the characteristics indicated. This may be do to the fact that someone is there to point out the features and answer any questions asked. Page 13 of 31 Action Plan: The action plan to increase the number of online student's percentage includes reviewing the examples and explanations posted online. Perhaps a few more examples being added are necessary? As far as trying to increase the on campus percentages, a few more examples can be added, perhaps cover the material at a slower pace and ask the class to identify the characteristics out loud during class. Local Resource Needs: Resource Requests: None Additional Comments: Page 14 of 31 Course Outcome Assessment Report Course: Introduction to Mexican Culture Outcome: The students will be able to identify major causes that led up to the Mexican Revolution.. Terms Included in this Report: Fall 2012 Data Summary: Criteria/Standards Not Proficient Proficient The students will be abler to identify major causes that led to the Mexican Revolution. (Benchmark: 75%) Benchmark Achieved The students were only able to identify 2,1 or 0 causes that led up to the Mexican Revolution. — 154 (15.8%) The students were able to identify 3 major causes that led to the Mexican Revolution. — 818 (84.2%) Qualitative Data/Comments and Observations No additional information was submitted Inferences: Online and campus classes were very close in their results. However, the numbers should of been higher. The Mexican Revolution is a chaotic time period, and perhaps not enough time was dedicated to the causes which led up to the revolution. There are many names and many different causes that led to Revolution, perhaps it would be a good idea to eliminate some of the characters of the revolution, and their causes, and emphasis the major causes? Page 15 of 31 Action Plan: More time will be dedicated to the causes that led up to the revolution, as well as examining the if any characters and their causes can be eliminated, while at the same time maintaining the focus of the causes. Perhaps a worksheet handed out to the students in which they must identify the key characters and their causes can be handed out. Local Resource Needs: Resource Requests: None Additional Comments: Page 16 of 31 Course Outcome Assessment Report Course: Introduction to Ethics Outcome: Given a particular set of hypothetical circumstances (the "problem") and prior exposure to major ethical theories (e.g,. ethical egoism, subjectivism, ethical relativism, utilitarianism, Kantianism/deontological theories, or virtue ethics), the student will interpret the circumstances and identify what course of action would be the "right thing to do" according to the selected theory. Terms Included in this Report: Fall, 2009, Spring, 2010, Fall, 2010, Spring 2011, Fall, 2011, Spring 2012, Fall 2012, Spring 2013, Fall 2013 Data Summary: Criteria/Standards Not Proficient Proficient For proficiency, student insight and accuracy is at least adequate for basic understanding. This represents the minimal (passing) knowledge and skill needed for this assessment. Errors are common, and significant, but do not overwhelm the effort, as a whole. (C quality work) (Benchmark: 70%) Benchmark Achieved Student fails to articulate key aspects of the idea or theory required for minimal (accurate) understanding. — 146 (22.1%) Student insight and articulation is at least minimally accurate and lacking in grave errors of understanding. — 516 (77.9%) Qualitative Data/Comments and Observations 1. Majority of students who are "not proficient" are students who should have dropped the course but did not. 2. Although all students who earned a final grade of \"C\" or better displayed high quality work in general, there were a few students who Page 17 of 31 performed poorly on the longer writing assignment. In particular, they did not write the full page requirement, and did not provide critical analysis. It appeared that they did not want to put in the time that it would take to write a more detailed, robust essay. 3. As a whole, students performed well. Of the 9 students who have been identified as \"Not Proficient\", it seemed to mostly be students who stopped participating in the course at some point throughout the semester. In the future, I may spend more time reaching out to these types of students in an attempt to increase engagement. Inferences: Success rates for both traditional and online sections exceed benchmarks, though the success rate for online courses is somewhat higher. This is not surprising, as online students are often concurrently enrolled at 4-year institutions, have better preparation, and have access to additional (outside) resources given the online nature of the course. Action Plan: Given the consistent success rate over several years' worth of assessment, the department will discuss a new SLO to assess. Local Resource Needs: Resource Requests: None Additional Comments: Page 18 of 31 Course Outcome Assessment Report Course: Spanish for the Spanish Speaker Outcome: Using critical thinking skills, students will be able to read and analyze paragraphs for their topic sentences and content, as well as write well-constructed paragraphs using planned language (topic sentence, supporting paragraph structure). Students will be able to answer questions orally using paragraph structure as well. Furthermore, students will be able to show improvement in their Spanish language structure and usage, including problematic areas such as common spelling errors, standard vs. non-standard Spanish language, use of accent marks, and punctuation, among other topics. Terms Included in this Report: Spring 2013 Data Summary: Criteria/Standards Unsatisfactory Satisfactory Communication: Students produce sentences and/or string of sentences.

(Benchmark: 80%) Benchmark Achieved Student has limited and/or inappropriate knowledge of cultural practices and products. — 62 (5.8%) Student has sufficient knowledge of cultural practices and products. — 1011 (94.2%) Qualitative Data/Comments and Observations 1. Amost 100% of all students performed at satisfactory level in all areas. Few students needed more practice with learned grammatical structures. 2. Students who did not complete course with a satisfactory outcome stopped participating completely after the drop date so that evaluation was not possible. 3. All students show great interest in increasing language competence. 4. Some students forget to drop the class. It does not mean they can not do the work. 5. The three students marked "unsatisfactory" they did not drop the class officially; it does not mean they can not do the work! 6. Very successful class. All students have demostrated great improvement in all language areas (specific focus on writing). 7. Students who registered for the class and initially attended, stopped attending and failed to officially drop the course. This led to failure in the course. 8. Very successful class. All students improve their language skills (with specifoc focus on writing). 9. Vey successful class. All students demostrated great improvement in all language skills (specif focus on writing). 10. 92.30% of students have shown Satisfactory performance in the following areas: Communication, Course Content (Vocab.), Course Content (Grammar Structures). 100% of students have shown Satisfactory performance in the area of Culture. 11. 88.23% of students have shown a Satisfactory performance. 12. There seems to be a wide range of levels in the Spanish 130 class, from very beginning heritage speakers to students who were educated in Latin American schools. This is intimidating to beginners which leads to some students to stop showing up. I think an Page 20 of 31 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. assessment test would be helpful because it would still be a waste of time for the beginner students to enroll in the SP101 class (the SP130 is advertised as a beginner class) and it would direct other students in appropriate level classes. All students participating in class have shown satisfactory results in Sentence Production, Vocabulary, Use of Learned Structres and Cultural Practices and Products. Students with unsatisfactory results (4) have a very low participation in class, this fact does not allow an accurate assessment of their language abilities. The methodoly and pacing plan used have been very successful in this class Almost all students have shown satisfactory levels of language competency in all areas: Sentences production, Vocabulary Usage, Use of Learned Structures and Knowledge of Cultural Practices and Products. Students with unsatisfactory results had shown low levels of participation. The methodoly and pacing plan used have been very successful in this class Most students (96.15%) have shown satisfactory levesl of language compentency in all areas: Language Production, Vocabulary Usage, Use of Learned Structures and Knowledge of Cultuaral Practices and Products. The only student with unsatisfactory results has shown low leves of class participation; this fact does not allow to conduct an accurate assessment of student's abilities. The methodoly and pacing plan used have been very successful in this class Students who received Fs: is due to not dropping by the due date, not because they can not do the work. All students were able to produce sentences with advanced vocabulary usage. Almost all students were able to use the learned grammatical structures. Oral presentations were focused on the culture of the Spanish Speaking World. All students demonstrated great command of oral skills and cultural awareness. All students were able to produce sentences with advanced vocabulary usage. Almost all students were able to use the learned grammatical structures. This class had high oral skills. Students participated in dynamic oral discussions connected to the class content. Students who did not participate in the class and failed to meet the drop deadline did not meet the proficiency guidelines. All students have demonstrated significant improvement in writing skills (journaling, academic an creative writing). Most students have improved their vocabulary usage and use of learned grammar structures. Very active class participation throughout the semester. All students have demonstrated extensive knowledge of cultural practices and products. All students have shown great understanding of cultural practice and products. All students have shown a significant improvement of writing skills (academic writing, journaling and creative writing. 83.33% of students (20 of 24) have improved in all course content areas. All students have shown significant improvement of writing skills (journaling, academic and creative writing). All students have demostrated deep understanding of cultural practices and products. Very active class participation throughout the semester. Almost all students (24 of 26 = 92.30%) have shown significan improvement in all course content areas. 16 students (out of 26 = Page 21 of 31 61.53%) have achieved an A (or B) grade. All students have demostrated great understanding of cultural practices and products. Outstanding improvement in writing skills has been observed throughout the semester (journaling, creative and academic writing). Very active class participation have been experienced throughout the semester. Inferences: Most students have achieved satisfactory results. Highest results are achieved in the "Vocabulary usage" section. Online classes show a lower satisfactory percentage; this is due to students leaving the class at the end of the semester wihout dropping. Action Plan: Lowest score appears in the "use of structures and vocabulary". Therefore, more activities focused in this academic area should be implemented. Local Resource Needs: Resource Requests: None Additional Comments: Page 22 of 31 Course Outcome Assessment Report Course: Spanish II Outcome: Given oral questions, written prompts, and/or reading selections, students will demonstrate productive and receptive skills in the target language through sentences and strings of sentences and in some instances paragraphs. Students will demonstrate accuracy and proficiency in the use of learned structures and vocabulary. In addition, students will comprehend and be intelligible to sympathetic speakers of the target language. Students will demonstrate knowledge of cultural practices and products in the target language.

Many of the students in this class were native speakers. The proposed placement exam will greatly assist in giving the native speakers and more challenging course plan. 2. Students who did not have a positive outcome did not do well because their excessive absences affected their performance in this course. 3. It is no surprise that attendance and participation are crucial to students' success in a Spanish class and those that had difficulty were those that did not finish/ attend the course. The majority of the students did well this semester. 4. Benchmark was reached (84%) in this Spanish 102 in respect to Vocabulary usage, proficiency of learned structures and ability to communicate in the target language, as well as in an increase in the knowledge and appreciation of the Spanish culture. 5. Course objectives were met with a majority (90%)of the students reaching a proficient level of communication and vocabulary usage in this course. Students did even better (95% of students) in raising their proficiency of learned structures and critical thinking in reading analysis and expanding their appreciation and knowledge of hispanic cultures. 6. Course objectives were met with a majority (90%)of the students reaching a proficient level of communication,vocabulary usage, and in the proficiency of critical thinking in reading analysis skills in this course. Students did even better (100% of students) in expanding their appreciation and knowledge of hispanic cultures. Page 24 of 31 Inferences: Students are meeting the benchmark for proficiency in both traditional and online classroom settings in all target areas! Action Plan: Students must maintain practice in proficiency in the use of the learned structures and vocabulary. Particular focus by instructors can be made on communication and vocabulary usage. Continued implementation of guided practice in classroom activities is suggested. Local Resource Needs: There seems to be an overwhelming need for another Full Time Spanish Instructor. There is a limited number of Spanish 102 sections which makes it difficult to accommodate students to continue with the second semester of Spanish. Resource Requests: None Additional Comments: Resources requested: An added Spanish Instructor as well as Spanish Language cinema and Cultural movies. DVD's and music which could be used by students in the Language Lab and shared by the instructor in class. These would increase proficiency, interest and cultural knowledge.

Another 29% of the students were below the proficiency level due to lack of motivation which will be need instructor's more attention and encouragement in the coming semester. 2. This is the same course we offered both online and on campus this spring 2012. However, the successful rate has very different results that compared with online class assessment. Please see the section #32721 for the assessment explaination. 3. The number in \\\"not - proficient\\\" level has 12 students which has almost occupied 50% from the total number of students in this online class. Online students are lacking of motivations and patients in completion of their assignments, homeworks and quizzes. The instructor must push more harder in terms of \\\\\\\"drop\\\\\\\" or \\\\\\\"withdrawal\\\\\\\" students and we shall see if it will be improved next semester. 4. This is the class that we have been offered via online and on campus the same time in spring semester, from the students learning outcome results, we can see that the successful rate from learning online is much lower than the one through on campus. One of the reasons was that students may lack of continuation and consistancy to complete their entire coursework as suppose to be in the traditional classroom learning style.

It seems to me the wrong boxes are labeled NOT Proficient and Proficient, it is confusing. It seems to me that the boxes are mislabeled: Not proficient then describes proficiency, and proficient describes not proficient, it is confusing. 5. The criteria for proficiency appear to be reversed. "The student can successfully identify...." should be evidence of proficiency. "The student cannot identify..." should be evidence of insufficiency. Please interpret my numbers as per the following: 24 out of 26 students achieved proficiency; 2 out of 26 students did not. Thanks. Susanna Levitt Page 28 of 31 Inferences: These stats seem accurate and very positive. Over 80% of the students are at the proficient level which is above the benchmark. Online is even higher, perhaps because of the testing method or lack of no-shows Action Plan: Things should continue as is. Perhaps the benchmark should be raised to 75%.

This is a course taught from 7 to 10 pm. Many of my students are working full time or engaged all day with young children. The rigors curriculum requires a great degree of self motivation since we only meet weekly. 3. This program is for early college on the campus of Mt. View high school. These students are not chosen to participate due to their grades and therefor anyone can apply. I have high expectations for them and they meet or exceed those expectations 4. The high grades in this class are due in part to the fact that it is a night class. Many of the students are mature adults who have very busy lives and they work very hard to do well. I am continually puzzled by students who stay in the course so long in the semester, do a lot of work, take many tests and still drop at the very last moment! 5. Assessment through quizzes, midterm and final examinations. Page 30 of 31 6. This course is part of the Early College Academy at Mt. View high school. 7.
