Review Course Level SLO Status \u2013 SLO Presentation Report Feedback<\/strong>
\nCommittee members were asked to take the SLO Presentation report back to their divisions for review and \u201cclean-up\u201d of SLOs. Discipline faculty were asked to review the course SLOs and make changes or deletions where needed. Two divisions turned in their changes: Math\/Science and Liberal Arts.<\/p>\n

ACCJC Standards<\/strong>
\nAt the September 18th meeting it was recommended that each committee member familiarize themselves with the current ACCJC standards and how they relate to SLOs. This agenda item was not discussed directly at this meeting but will remain on the agenda for future discussion.<\/p>\n

\nVicki gave a presentation on the structure of the Studio Arts AA-T degree and demonstrated the flow of SLOs from the course level up to the institutional level through the program.<\/p>\n

Other<\/strong>
\nNew members of the committee had questions regarding the actual role of SLO\/ASC. They wanted to know what part the committee played in the development of SLOs. There is a question of where the authority lies in the SLO assessment process. It was recommended that the committee develop a policy regarding the SLO process, mainly how many SLOs should be assessed per semester, and present it to the Academic Senate.<\/p>\n
