Computation:
 John Falls has not yet gotten the computation test into an online (survey
monkey) version. He intends to get it done in time to pilot test it at the
beginning of spring quarter for use at the end of spring quarter. Gina
volunteered to contact John to offer her assistance with the online version.
 Course selection for this CLO this spring should be coordinated with the
SENSE survey to minimize impact on courses.

There has been no reported progress on Culture & Community CLO this quarter.

Share status report with
The Information Literacy rubric has been finalized (for now). Committee
members recommended that the rubric be made available for faculty to use, but the Academic Council,
Curriclum Committee
official conversion from Computer Literacy to Information Literacy be scheduled
to best work with the semester conversion schedule. This will require Curriculum
Committee approvals.
Committee Discussion:
Some CLOs are taught in specific courses AND across-the-curriculum. Specific
courses are: writing in English, oral communication in Speech, information
literacy in English (research), and possibly culture and community in
humanities/social sciences. These offer two assessment data capture points.
The critical thinking CLO is not taught in specific courses at all, but entirely
through an across-the-curriculum approach.
The computation CLO is taught in specific math courses. It is also reinforced
across the curriculum, but at that point it is as the programs define it for their own
students. Also, with semester conversion, college level math will be in all
programs. The Committee will need to consider re-defining the CLO.

Meetings
The Committee liked the following:
o The CLO will be assessed in math courses after semester
conversion – possibly via comprehensive final exam grades.
o Programs could define an applied computation learning outcome
for the program, assess it, and report it via the Program Assessment
Report form.
The Committee suggested Mondays at 3:30.
Check with all Committee
members.
