--------------SAMPLE------------------
--------------SAMPLE------------------
--------------SAMPLE------------------
Student individual presentations were strongest
in terms of developing unique ways to present
the new information to their audience.
Many students assumed too much knowledge
on the part of the audience. This was a frequent
complaint on the peer review questionnaires
that audience members completed.
I will design an in-class exercise in which students
briefly teach classmates about a topic about
which they are knowledgeable, and get immediate
feedback on whether they presented enough
background information.

According to your assessment process and for the above SLO, what percentage of student work was…1

(should total 100%).
Change(s) to course and/or assessment methods for next year (based on this year's results)?
In some cases, these percentages will be estimates based on instructors' professional judgments. Note that the categories correspond to the grades of A, B, C, D/F. This
information will be used and reported only in the aggregate for entire SLOs/Goal Areas and for multi-section courses. Data will never be reported by instructor or if the
identity of the instructor can be determined by course and term.
