DISCUSSION
Graduate Survey
Troy submitted a revised graduate survey with new/improved CLO
assessment. The Committee approved with minor corrections.
Kate presented Paul’s response to the Committee’s proposal to
incorporate more learning outcomes/assessment in the Curriculum
Committee’s curriculum processes. (Paul was not in favor of the
proposal and did not volunteer to present it to the to the Curriculum
Committee.) The Assessment Committee recommended that Kate ask
for time at a Curriculum Committee meeting to present documents with
suggested revisions to more clearly communicate the changes we think
would benefit the College.
5 Column Reports for the 07-08 year will be due in October. Kate
talked with Joe Badamy to enccourage CIS to participate. Kate has a
meeting scheduled with Ken McCreight, new Dean of Technology and
Workforce, to discuss the needs of the programs in that area.
Committee reviewd the goals for 07-08, have addressed all. The
Committee decided to continue with all of the goals except the last
(advocating for assessment in job descriptions) for 08-09.
Feedback reports, syllabi, memos and Bloom’s handouts were
distributed to DCs for distribution to faculty. Some engineering and
nursing syllabi are missing.
Kate sent to the Council of Deans the Committee’s suggestions for
faculty professional development workshops (writing learning
outcomes, creating rubrics).

The Committee declined to participate in the Assessment Webinar – too
basic.
The Committee requested that the Council of Deans and the Valuing
Adjunct Team consider the value of having adjunct as course
coordinators to facilitate updating syllabi, reviewing texts, collecting
data for 5 column reports, monitoring 1st day handouts.
