Instructional Program Review Process – Rio Hondo College
The suggested topics are meant to serve as guidelines for the self-evaluation process
and the preparation of the report. The report may expand upon or exclude some of
the topics below, at the discretion of the program staff.
For all active courses and any course not revised within the last 5 years, the course
outline of record must be revised, updated and submitted to the Curriculum Committee
for review the semester before Program Review is scheduled to take place. Faculty
must use the most current forms (located on the pdrive) and follow any other
curriculum formatting requirements in submission of course revisions. Particular
attention should be paid to the review of any preparation courses (prerequisites, corequisites, advisories) listed for the courses under revision. A Student Learning
Outcome and Assessment Plan and The Rubric for Evaluation of the Assessment
must be submitted for each course undergoing revision. All curriculum and SLO forms
must be updated the semester before the self-study is presented to PFC. See
Appendix A for check off sheets, templates, and timeline.
Submit all SLOs and their assessment to the SLO Committee using the SLO
worksheet in Appendix B for all active courses before the program review self-study is
presented.
1.
Description & Program Goals
a. Describe the program or service under review, emphasizing the program goals
and any services this program provides, the program’s impact on student
success, if appropriate, and how the program interacts with other college
programs. Goals might include transfer, occupational certificates,
developmental skills, general education, prerequisites for a major, personal
interest, or skills development.
The General Education Geography program in the Division of Math and
Sciences has been a successful program that fulfills the needs of the
student seeking a degree, a transfer course, a certificate, or employment.
The Geography program is taught by one fulltime unit member who is
devoted to delivering a geography curriculum to the general education
student.
Physical Geography, Physical Geography Laboratory, Cultural
Geography, and World Regional Geography are introductory, general
education courses in the Geography program. Physical Geography,
Cultural Geography, and World Regional Geography satisfy the
prerequisites for the geography major. Further, Cultural Geography and
World Regional Geography are required courses for most teachereducation programs.
Modern geography technologies are utilized in both the lecture and lab
courses. This includes the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
as a tool for displaying geographical data in the classroom. The lecture
and lab courses utilize the computer and also the internet as a tool in the
delivery of material. The laboratory continues to evolve whenever new
technologies are made available (either through the internet, computer, or
new lab equipment).
b. Discuss how the goals and objectives of the College (see Vision, Mission, and
Goals) are integrated into the program. These may include but are not limited
to individual student performance, student success, faculty teaching styles
(innovation), involvement in tutoring labs, certificates, AA degrees, transfer, job
placement, retention, outreach, service learning, and distance education.
The geography program supports the goals and objectives of the College.
As geography is a discipline which continues to evolve technologically
(aerial photos, computer mapping, satellite imagery, global positioning
systems), the geography faculty member stays abreast of these
technologies through training. These technologies and/or their products
are incorporated the classroom to most innovatively explain lecture
topics.
To meet the needs of the District’s current population, the geography
program has fully expanded its offerings online (Physical Geography,
Physical Geography lab, and Cultural Geography). Because of the nature
of the geography subject matter, it was decided by the Division of Math
and Sciences that it is the only physical science laboratory which could
be offered in an online format. Thus, the geography program allows
online students to achieve their goal of transfer or completion of their
Associate’s degree. Enrollment has noticeably surged with the expanded
online offerings.
2.
Course and Program Content
Discuss the appropriateness of course designs as they relate to program goals, and
identify important issues or problems. For example:
a. How the number, type, depth and breadth of the courses support program
student learning outcomes and goals.
All of the geography courses use place-name geography as a basic
foundation in presenting geographical concepts, in order to support the
proposed program-level SLO:
Given physical and political maps of the major world regions, students
will be able to identify major landforms, bodies of water, and countries.
There are 2-3 lecture and 3 laboratory sections of Physical Geography,
and 2 sections of Cultural Geography each semester. There are
additional sections of these courses offered in the summer session and
intersession. These courses are offered during the day and online as
well. The geography program has increased accessibility for students
attempting to complete their general education physical science lecture
and lab requirement for graduation or transfer.
b. How courses in the program articulate with, or complement each other.
All of the courses in the geography program share the concept of regions
as it relates to geographical phenomena (either cultural or physical). A
student coming out of a geography course can use that basic
understanding like a template in another of the courses.
c. The appropriateness of the prerequisites, co-requisites, and advisories in terms
of course content and program student learning outcomes and goals.
All geography courses have appropriate advisories in writing, reading
and math (English 035, Reading 023, and Math 050). The geography
courses require basic reading, writing, and math skills to be successful.
Basic skills courses are listed as advisories, rather than prerequisites.
This not only informs students of the skills necessary to be successful,
but also keeps the courses accessible to maximize enrollment.
d. If appropriate, how transfer and articulation agreements serve the needs of
students usually enrolled in the courses.
Students take these courses for their AA Degree and transfer to CSU and
UC schools. Physical geography fulfills the Physical Science GE
requirement. Physical Geography laboratory satisfies the science lab GE
requirement. Cultural Geography fultfills the Social Science GE
requirement.
e. How the major(s) or occupational certificates are designed to meet the needs
and goals of the students enrolled as well as employer needs, if applicable.
N/A.
f.
How courses in the program interact with other programs on campus; (for
example: cross-listing, overlapping content or shared resources).
N/A
3.
Scheduling patterns
Describe the size of classes, the quantity and distribution of course sections
(day/evening, distance ed) and other features of the program. Discuss whether these
appropriately meet student demands as well as the goals of the program.
The Physical Geography courses are large lecture classes (72 students)
which generate large amounts of WSCH. Cultural Geography courses are
generally smaller lecture courses (45 students). In Spring 2007, the
Geography program generated 941.95 (WSCH) and 37.51 (FTES),
contributing significantly to campus enrollment. These numbers are even
more impressive when you consider that the laboratory offerings (3
sections per semester) are limited to 24 students and typically do not
generate high WSCH. The Geography program is generating revenue well
in excess of costs, considering there is only one fulltime instructor
teaching all the courses in the program. There are 3 to 4 sections offered
during the day, 3 sections available online. These numbers reflect an
increase in course offerings to meet increasing student demand
(especially online demand). For example, in the Physical Geography 101
course enrollment (not including summer session) increased from 129
students in Fall 02 to 218 students in Spring 2007. The Physical
Geography laboratory course increased from 39 students in Fall 02 to 106
students in Spring 07. Both of these courses had no online offerings in
Fall 02. This shows that the Geography program is meeting the needs of
online students as well as those on campus.
4.
Student Learning Outcomes
1. Describe the progress made by your department in:
a. Defining and assessing Student Learning Outcomes at the course level.
(Attach SLO assessment summaries)
The courses within the Geography program (except World Regional
Geography, which has not been offered since F02 due to low enrollment)
have all had one round of assessment (see appendix for assessment
reports). The Geography faculty member is continuing to develop
additional course-level SLOs and completion of a second round of
assessment for course-level SLOs is currently in place.
b. Evaluating the results and implementing change in response to assessment of
SLOs.
The evaluation of the SLOs occurred in the Fall of 2007. A second round
of assessment will be completed in Fall of 2008 using the course-level
SLOs currently in place. The assessment reports reflect that the majority
of students performed at a satisfactory level or above for all of the
course-levels SLOs assessed. Adjustments have been made in the
course curriculum to increase the percentage of students that perform at
an excellent level. Results of the Fall 2008 assessment should help
determine if improvement has occurred.
c. Mapping course-level SLOs to General Education SLOs.
N/A Campus-wide general education SLOs are currently being
developed, but are not finalized.
d.
Working with other departments or programs on campus to improve SLOs.
The Geography faculty member has consulted with Chemistry, Physics,
Geology, and Astronomy faculty in identifying appropriate assessment
measures and recognizing outcomes that are common among all science
disciplines.
2. How does the department ensure that student learning outcomes are assessed
consistently across different sections of the same course? Are all SLOs included in all
course syllabi?
As there is only one fulltime Geography faculty member (and no part-time
faculty), consistency in assessment has been maintained across
sections. Course-level SLOs are included in course syllabi as of Spring
2008.
3. Describe progress by the department in developing/assessing program or degree
SLOs.
A program level SLO has been developed by the Physical Sciences
Department: Students will perform and/or utilize scientific
measurements, and interpret them in a fashion appropriate to the specific
discipline.
This SLO has will be assessed in Fall 2008 in all Geography courses.
4. Describe how requests for personnel, equipment or other resources are determined
by the improvement of SLOs.
The Geography program has the necessary personnel to meet the current
demands of its SLOs. However, the computers in the Physical Science
laboratory are outdated, slow, malfunctioning and some are out of order.
These computers are shared among Physical Geography Laboratory
students, as well as Astronomy Laboratory and Anthropology Laboratory
students. New computers will allow the necessary access to the course
materials which would improve course level SLO results.
5.
Support for the program and logistics
Describe the number and type of staff and faculty with regard to training, currency,
workload, equipment, and facilities assigned to or used by the program. Discuss
whether or not these are appropriate for serving the stated goals.
Discuss any logistical problems (facilities, staff, equipment) that impact on the ability of
the program to meet program goals or serve students, including the program’s
relationship and involvement with adjunct faculty and their access to instructional and
administrative support services.
There is 1 fulltime faculty that supports this program. This faculty
member remains current in the geography field by attending conferences,
and being an active member in professional societies such as:
Association of American Geographers and the California Geographical
Society. To keep current with the changing geography technologies, the
geography faculty member continues coursework, including training in
the evolving Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software.
The computers in the Physical Science laboratory are outdated,
malfunctioning and/or out of order and desperately need to be upgraded.
In the Physical Geography Laboratory sections, students who are
normally working in groups of 2 currently must work in groups of 4 or
more due to the limit in the number of working computers. This could
greatly affect student success.
6.
Advisory Boards
A vocational program is required to have an active advisory board. Describe the
advisory board membership, how often it meets and its role and involvement with the
program.
N/A
7.
Course grading and retention patterns
Explain any unusual patterns in grading or retention in terms of the student
characteristics and program goals
Online sections typically have lower retention. There is a noticeable drop
in retention from Fall 02 (90% Retention) to Spring 07 (76% Retention). In
Fall 02, there were no online offerings in Geography, and in Spring 07,
there were 4 online offerings. Students who take online courses have a
higher frequency of not completing coursework independently, thus
affecting retention. Students who are required to take an online
orientation course prior to an academic online course result in higher
retention. Rio Hondo could consider making such an orientation a
requirement to improve our online student retention.
Summer retention and success rates are higher than Fall and Spring.
Often in summer, students take only one course and therefore are
focused solely on that coursework.
8.
Program completion – if appropriate
Describe why these courses are grouped together into a program and how students
are expected to use them. For instance, what constitutes completion of the program?
Discuss the student characteristics. Describe any method that shows student
proficiency for a portion of the program.
These courses all satisfy the GE graduation requirements for transfer and
the AA degree. Physical Geography and laboratory meet the Physical
Science (and laboratory) requirements, and Cultural Geography and
World Regional Geography meet the Social Science requirements.
9.
Final outcome of the program
Describe what happens after students complete the program and discuss how
program student learning outcomes relate to the program goals. Use any data
available, including informal reports, to evaluate the student transfer or job placement
rates. Address whether or not the completers are successful in subsequent courses in
the major, other college-level courses or getting a job and meeting employer
expectations.
Students should be able to make a connection between physical or
cultural geographic phenomena with specific places (regions, countries,
major landforms, or bodies of water) on the map upon successful
completion of a course in geography. Completion of each of these
courses satisfies the physical science GE requirement, science
laboratory GE requirement, and/or the social science GE requirement.
10.
Conclusions & Recommendations
Present any conclusions and recommendations resulting from the self-evaluation
process, referencing the specific topics above.
The Geography course offerings adequately meet the needs of the
students. A new online lab section has been added each semester due to
the great demand in this lab which is the only science lab offered online.
Due to the digital nature of geography data, computers are imperative in a
Physical Geography laboratory. It will be increasingly necessary to
replace the computers in the Physical Science laboratory.
