Interpretation of Assessment Data • REL 314: Online Method of Instruction • REL 403: RELInternship
Data-driven decisions: “Closing the loop” REL 416 • Number of collaborative case studies and group quizzes could be increased to enhance learning experience among students • Students could be involved in developing test question on specific chapters that will motivate them to read assigned materials. • The Final group project will continue to be divided into sections throughout the semester allowing students to improve based on feedback. REL 302 • Students seemed to perform better through collaborative assignments. Number of collaborative assignments can be increased aiding student learning. • Tools for peer evaluation has been used to build a platform in which all team members were mutually accountable for their contribution. • Reflective assignment seemed to be an effective learning tool for this class as students showed commitment and enhanced knowledge l interpreting evidence/findings to the theories and concepts discussed in the class. • Minute Quizzes, game show format and in-class activities that requires daily reading on the assigned topics had to be strictly enforced for better performance in exams and tests.
REL 314 Historical information in multiple format can be introduced to the online classes to aid visual learners. REL 403 • Report results from both initial proposal and revised assignment to measure the difference in performance. • Coordinate integrating e-portfolio, assignments such as resume, and other communication skills across core REL courses to maintain the continuity. Overall, as a part of strategic planning the department is currently undergoing a core curriculum review
