Spring 2013 Course SLO Review

PHYC 2BL - Intro to Physics (Lab) - Stage 5 - Dack Lee

Assessment Methods	Analysis of exam, quiz, or homework items linked to specific SLOs
Assessment Description	A 4-question (multiple choice) questionnaire was administered at the end of the semester. For the Spring and Fall 2012 semesters the physics department used the same questionnaire for all lab courses. While this was initially very useful in developing a baselines, and looking at trends across different courses, it is now time to for a more directed approach. For PHYC 2BL a new questionnaire will be developed with all questions geared specifically to the PHYC 2BL SLO's. This new questionnaire will be administered at the end of the Fall, 2013 semester.
Learning Outcomes	SLO A) Able to use and operate laboratory equipment that includes multimeters and optical bench.
Number of Sections	4
Number of Instructors	3
Number of Students	~90

Data Shared With	Instructors of the same course (at CCSF) Faculty and staff within our department
Data Sharing Methods	Face-to-face meetings Email
Data Summary	The last two questions were pertinent to PHYC 2BL and the results were quite positive. Specifically, please see question #4. There was a significant 12% improvement for the SLO (A): Able to use and operate laboratory equipment that includes multimeters and optical bench.
Analysis Summary	We will start designing a multiple-choice questionnaire with work shown by student to show his/her reasoning to obtain answer (ready for Fall 2013). Having pertinent questions is essential.
Next Steps Planned	No answer
Learning Outcomes	No answer

Term	Fall 2013
Activities	Assessment (measurement) of outcomes
