  1. Building the Bigger Picture Materials linked from the April 24, 2013 Baccalaureate Core Committee Minutes. Synthesis Bacc Core Review Results By Stefani Dawn, PhDAssistant Director for Assessment

  2. Course vs. Program Level Data • Bacc Core category review has historically been about individual course review • Meeting category criteria and what delivering in the class • With student learning data (new) and other data streams it can inform the Bacc Core as a Program and improve learning for students

  3. Course Level DataSynthesis Review • 26 courses were not offered (19%) • 22 submission incomplete (missing syllabus, review form or both) (16%) • 10 submissions were exemplary (7%) • 2 of those were selected to receive $500 awards • 61 courses were recertified (44%) • 21 courses require additional follow-up (15%)

  4. Bacc Core is an Academic Program • A series of courses that make up a curriculum. • Courses work together to develop students’ knowledge, skills, and values identified by the faculty as being important. • The Bacc Core forms the foundation to complete this sentence with confidence: An OSU baccalaureate graduate is able to ___________

  5. How do we know? • That students A, B and C at graduation have attained the same minimum competencies? • A shared minimum experience and education.

  6. The Numbers • As part of assessment • Submit one Category Review webform per course • 124 webforms were submitted by the units • 4 courses requested to be discontinued

  7. eSET • 42% of Synthesis courses in Spring 2012 participated in pilot • 80% of the responding students were taking the course to satisfy a Bacc Core requirement (n=497) • Asked to rate ability to…(outcome): Median 4 out of 6 (good) • eSET NOT used in individual course reviews.

  8. The Numbers • Asst/Assoc/Prof: 27% • Instructor/Senior Instructor: 45% • GTA/No Rank: 24% • ~4,000 students per term in Synthesis courses • 83%-91% max capacity

  9. Conclusions Analysis • 48/125 provided a conclusion related to the SLOs • Sorted into • Students met all outcomes • Specific outcome met • Students fell short on a specific outcome • Sorted into specific, identified challenges (e.g. writing, etc.)

  10. Conclusions Analysis • 61% stated that the students met all of the outcomes • 37% expressed some weakness, concern or variability • Writing • Students had difficulty synthesizing complex, global-level or multidisciplinary information

  11. Do We Believe It? • We do know more than we did before • What need for confidence in conclusions • Consistent matching of assessments with outcomes • Consistent collection of evidence across sections and terms over time (appropriate sampling) • Reporting specific results of student learning for EACH outcome.

  12. Bacc Core:More than the Sum of it Parts • We can use the data we have as an indicator. • Goal: Use the information provided by those teaching the Bacc Core to inform the program (the curriculum, resources, etc.) • It goes way beyond individual courses • We depend on you to tell us what is happening with our students
