About Motlow’s QEP • The goal of Motlow's QEP is to improve student learning through culturally diverse perspectives to prepare students for success in a global society. • Campus-wide support is needed to make our QEP a success.
QEP Progress to Date • Since fall 2008 - Piloted in five courses using control groups and pre/post-test method • Only one pilot course showed substantial difference in knowledge and attitude change toward other cultures
Improvements Beginning Fall 2011 • Accelerated schedule of courses will internationalize 25% of courses by 2015 and include internationalized courses in every academic department • Assessment of student learning outcomes in international modules will now be accomplished through the use of common grading rubrics aligned with QEP learning outcomes
Improvements Beginning Fall 2011 • Faculty development will be expanded to include development of grading rubrics and funding for faculty to travel abroad • The QEP will engage students in multicultural experiences outside the classroom through programs and festivals • The goals and objectives of the original QEP will remain unchanged
Assessment Process • International module assignment (presentation, group project, poster, or essay) to be graded by common grading rubric • All sections of course integrate and teach module and grade assignment using common rubric • Rubric assessments are entered online by faculty for EACH student
Example of Online Rubric • The following is an example of online rubric to be completed by faculty by the end of each semester of implementationhttp://www.surveygizmo.com/s/617688/psyc-1030-rubric-f2011
Use of Assessment Results • Summary results of rubric assessments are reviewed by chairs and faculty to identify necessary improvements • Results of rubric assessments are NOT reviewed on a per student, per section or per faculty basis • Results of rubric assessments are only used for purposes of assessing overall achievement of SLOs for students in all sections of the course
Pilot Course Results • In spring 2011, BIOL 2230 – assessed 54 students using a common grading rubric for grading poster assignment on worldwide infectious diseases
