Improvement Details
| Details | History instructors decided to refine existing outcomes, after two cycles of pre/post surveys. History 1 had 15 CSLOs, which we reduced to 7 by combining and revamping several outcomes. We also included more skill-focused SLOs. Along with these revisions, proposed methods of evaluation were considered. These changes are now featured in a new Course Outline that will be submitted to the chair for her approval in Spring 2014. |

| Data Summary | Based on the results, we decided that the course's SLOs needed revamping and that the survey was not the most meaningful tool of assessment.
