Communication Team – Mike and Terry reported that a proposal
was sent to Curriculum Committee to require all degree-seeking
students to take SP 101. The Team plans to use SpAC to assess.
Math Team – Bob reported that the Team is interviewing Dept.
Chairs to develop a matirx of the math concepts every grad needs
to know.
Computer Literacy Team – Tom submitted a written update. After
discussion, the Committee advised the Team to apply the
assessment tool they are researching at when students are near
graduation only. If the assessment process reveals that graduates
do not attain an acceptable level of competency (or if some other
teaching/learning process reveals a problem for students at entry
into the college/progra/course) then some of the strategies the
Team was considering would be re-considered at that time.
Employer &
Graduate
Surveys
Culture & Community Team – Paul reported that the Team is
working to address the concerns revealed by the Committee’s
evaluation in December.
Tom reported that the College’s Employer and Graduate surveys
may have data for core outcomes assessment. He also indicated
that the survey questions and process can be changed.
