  7. Assessment Outcomes Reports

  8. Student surveys Fall 2014 Students reported -they are attaining the skills identified in the ILOs. -the most improvement in problem solving & the least amount of improvement in Math competency (quantitative reasoning). Femalestudents: Reported improvement higher than male students on all ILOs except Math competency. Low-income and first-generation students: Rated their improvement higher than their counterparts. Hispanicstudents (77% of the student body): Rated their improvement the highest among all ethnic groups. Youngerstudents: Rated their improvement higher than older students. Limitation: The reports are based on student perception.

  9. Individual ILO assessments • selecting specific courses ILO#2 Information Competency (Spring 2014) Use Flex Day or Spring into Spring for deep dialog about plagiarism—strengthen and reinforce common plagiarism statement on syllabi. ILO#1 Written Communication (2012) Thewriting componentforwhich studentsscored lowest wasgrammar,and thusthis would appear tobe wherestudentimprovementis mostneeded.

  10. ILO Roll-up reports Information Competency: Classes and programs need instructional support materials and tutors, specifically library research and citation workshops. Instructors also requested extended Library and Learning Resource Center hours to accommodate night classes. EXAMPLES: "We request that the library be open in the evenings to meet the needs of our evening classes" Writing: It seems clear that greater access to tutoringservices in written communication is necessary for students to improve in these areas. Global Awareness: Tutorsplay an important role in boosting less prepared students to cope with the rigors of the course.

  11. Problem solving: Also the students need to be encouraged to take advantage of the tutoring offered in the Learning Resource Center. Aesthetic Responsiveness: Classes need instructional support materials and tutors, specifically here for writing. Instructors also requested technology, such as smart classrooms and computers in classrooms and/or extended LRC hours to accommodate night classes. Repeated Resource Requests: Tutorsfor Writing Skills
