Assessment Activities

Assessment Methods	Quizzes, exams, or homework items linked to specific learning outcomes Assignments based on rubrics (such as essays, projects, and performances) Direct observation of performances, practical exams, group work Student self-assessments ( such as reflective journals and surveys), discussions among design faculty
Assessment Description	Design teachers held several meetings to discuss how to restructure the certificates, course content and course SLOs. We wanted to assure that students were learning what they needed for employment in the industry, and remove barriers to completion. We focused on the 15 series, which teaches apparel construction techniques. On 1/21/13 we met again to finalize how to redistribute the materials between the 3 classes, and what content should be moved to electives.
Learning Outcomes	1. Be prepared for entry level employment in the fashion industry, create an entrepreneurial fashion business, or be successful in the next level of fashion coursework, should they choose to continue. 4. Execute the technical skills of pattern and garment development. 5. Identify and properly utilize the appropriate raw materials for their fashion products.
Number of Courses	3
Number of Students	100
Data Summary	We plan to summarize data later during the Spring 2013 semester

Next Steps Planned	1. Re-write all classes in apparel construction series -- completed Jan 2013 2. Re-write all classes in pattern drafting series -- by March 2013 3. Create a series of new certificates that are more job-category specific, and more achievable. Our current certificate is very broad. We plan to break it up into smaller chunks, for example "Pattern Develpment"
