\nCommunication ISLO \u2013 Review of proposed changes
\nVicki reviewed a change in the ISLO for Communication. The ISLO has been divided into two subheadings of Written Communication and Oral Communication. Using the VALUE rubric, the criteria was reviewed in order to establish an agreed rubric with criteria for each. Courses that primarily use written work to assess the student will be assigned the Written Communication ISLO whereas courses that use oral presentations in their assessments of student learning will be assigned the Oral Communication ISLO. In courses where both methods may be used, faculty can elect to add the Written Communication ISLO. We also reviewed the GE SLO for Communication and Analytical Thinking as part of the ISLOs for Communication and Critical Thinking (that will be assessed this year).
\nAction: There was also a discussion about the proposed Plagiarism SLO. It was agreed that during spring in service, there would be a session to discuss this as a possible criteria for both Written and Oral Communication ISLOs.
\nJanuary Inservice \u2013 Structure of SLO Day
\nThere was a discussion of which sessions to have during the spring in service. Some ideas are:
\n\u2022\tAllowing time for faculty to enter fall assessment data into eLumen
\n\u2022\tSession on the Computation ISLO
\n\u2022\tSession for Student Services
\nAfternoon sessions should be mandatory for all full time faculty to continue mapping SLOs and courses so that a predictable two-year SLO assessment schedule can be developed.
\nAction: It was agreed that the committee would use the December 15th meeting as a mock trial of the mapping session.
\nCritical Thinking ISLO \u2013 Attached to all 2000 level courses in eLumen
\nThe Critical Thinking ISLO is mapped to all course SLOs written for 2000 level courses. This will allow for reporting and automatic assessment without faculty direct assessment. <\/p>\n
Next Meeting: December 15, 2017 from 11:10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the Counseling Center Conference Room unless otherwise notified.<\/p>\n
