Please complete the schedule of assessment activities below by listing all program Student Learning
Outcomes (SLOs) by number down the left column and indicating when data were/will be collected (C) and when they were/will be discussed (D) by your faculty. You can also schedule/track program changes resulting from your assessment activities by indicating an “I” (implemented changes) where relevant. This schedule is meant to be fluid; providing a proposed schedule for future assessment while at the same time, providing a record of your efforts as the program planning cycle progresses.

Program Assessment Report
Demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills
RECORD OF ASSESSMENT
Begin generating a record of assessment for this Student Learning Outcome in which you record the following areas of assessment activity. Start each entry with the semester in which the activity(s) occurred followed by a description of the activity(s).These dates and activities should correspond with the
“Schedule of Assessment Activities” on the first page of this report.
I. Data Collection:
[SEMESTER/YEAR] – For this assessment cycle, how were the data collected and what were the results?
Fall 2008: Students will achieve a grade of C or better on the Mini-Proposal Assignment required in the
295A course to assess effective written communication. Data collected by Cara, Richardson, & Schultz-
Krohn. Data also collected on the number of written assignments returned to students due to excessive errors following Departmental Writing Standards. Please see attached Departmental Writing Standards.
Of a total of 72 students enrolled in three sections of this course the following data was collected:
Completion of the Mini-Proposal assignment at a grade of C or better: 72/72 students
Number of written assignments returned during the semester due to excessive errors per Departmental
Writing standards: 5/72
Spring 2009: Students will achieve a grade of C or better on specific assignments in OCTH 136 and
OCTH 122. Data to be collected on effective oral communication skills using the oral presentation assignment in the OCTH 136 by Glogoski. Data to be collected on effective written communication skills using the Diagnostic Paper in OCTH 122 by Andonian.
II. What have you learned about Student Learning?
[SEMESTER/YEAR] – Based on the results in part I., briefly summarize the discussion surrounding this outcome, i.e., what does the faculty conclude about student learning for this SLO?
Discussion: From previous data collection period it was determined that this SLO is important and no change in the SLO is needed. Previous discussions included the need to require students to meet current departmental writing standards. The Occupational Therapy Student Manual includes the Writing
Standards and faculty have instituted a policy whereby students with more than five novel grammatical errors and/or five novel APA errors will have the written work returned for revisions with an automatic 10% deduction in the total grade of the assignment. Additional data collected in the Fall 2008 semester in all three sections of OCTH 295A on the ability of students to demonstrate effective written communication skills.
Discussion of student performance for this SLO (data collected in the OCTH 295A course) to be scheduled for the February Occupational Therapy Faculty meeting.
Data is scheduled to be collected on this SLO through the OCTH 136 course by Glogoski during Spring
2009 semester to assess student performance in effective oral communication skills. Data is scheduled to be collected through the OCTH 122 course by Andonian during Spring 2009 semester to assess student performance in effective written communication skills. Discussion of data from Spring 2009 to be scheduled for Fall 2009 Occupational Therapy Faculty meeting.

Data Collection Method for SLO # 3 & 4
Since the course examines the importance of occupations in an individual’s life, this assignment is designed to have students analyze and describe their own occupational history. You should describe those occupations, whether work or leisure-related, that played a pivotal role in your own development.
Include how you came to be interested in the occupations, how you became proficient at them, and what these occupations mean to you. Please distinguish between occupations (i.e. reading, studying, writing), rather than roles (i.e. student). It makes sense to discuss occupations in the context of roles, but do not use the words interchangeably as they have distinct meanings within occupational therapy. The paper should be 4-5 pages Max., double-spaced.
Paper Clearly Written and Organized? (thoughts are organized, ideas are stated clearly, paper is proofread and without spelling/grammar errors, topic sentences are employed)
Appropriate Occupations Described? (Describe how these occupations were/are significant to you and how they played a pivotal role in your own development. Include at least three occupations. Include an analysis of the influence of these chosen occupations on your life)
Full Descriptions of Occupations Provided (how you became interested, how you became proficient, frequency/duration of occupations)
Discuss what the occupations mean to you?
(what did they mean for you at the time you engaged in them? What do they mean to you now in terms of your personal history? Do you still engage in these occupations? Which ones? Or why not?)
