Spring 2013 Course SLO Review

FASH 25C - Weaving III - Stage 3 - Janice Sullivan

Assessment

Assessment Methods	Analysis of exam, quiz, or homework items linked to specific SLOs 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) Capstone projects or final summative assignments
Assessment Description	Analysis of homework items linked to specific learning outcomes. Direct observation of performance. Student self assessments. Capstone project of final summative assignments.Create
Learning Outcomes	create a portfolio or original woven textiles. Operate muti harness loom including dobby loom. Demonstrate ability to combine unrelated fibers in a woven construction. Design complex weave structures using computer weaving program Evaluate and critique textiles for their intended use.
Number of Sections	one
Number of Instructors	one
Number of Students	23

Data Analysis

Data Shared With	Students
Data Sharing Methods	Face-to-face meetings
Data Summary	100% of students in this class were able to complete the work with grade A.
Analysis Summary	100% of Students in the class were all able to achieve excellent results in the homework assignments, and final projects
Next Steps Planned	Giving more time to work on the computer to design one of a kind fabrics was crucial and I will continue to have all students design each fabric they produce on the computer with several color variations.
Learning Outcomes	All

Changes

Details	As I mentioned previously more computer time to not only input designs they found in books, but also to make up their designs based on the knowledge and structures they found in two course books I was using. They also were exposed to new yarns that we have not worked with before. This forced them to analyze properties of a new material, and examine new ways of working with it.
Learning Outcomes	Demonstrate ability to combine unrelated fibers in a woven structure. Design complex weave structures using a computer in weaving programs. Evaluate and critique textiles for their intended use.

Tentative Future Plans

Term	Spring 2014
Activities	Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps Implementation of planned changes and reassessment
More Details	The course will include dyeing of fibers and applying surface design elements to hand woven fabrics

Additional Highlights

Reassessing the format of the course in terms of time allotted for assignments has been helpful.
