Assessment
| Assessment Methods |
|
|---|---|
| Assessment Description | Students applied the intersectionality theory to a campus event they organized. This included group work and performances of their work. At the end of the event students self-assessed their work and satisfaction levels. A survey of SLOs was given at the beginning and end of the semester. The capstone project consisted of their oral stories translated into written form for a class anthology. Because their stories were based on their and others' stories they were required to take the NIH protection of participant research tutorial that culminated in a certificat. |
| Learning Outcomes | Two outcomes were addressed Spring 2013: Recognition of ethnographic and indigenous storytelling methods Application of the feminist theory of intersectionality |
| Number of Sections | one |
| Number of Instructors | one |
| Number of Students | 13 |
Data Analysis
| Data Shared With |
|
|---|---|
| Data Sharing Methods |
|
| Data Summary | 10% of the students were able to recognize ethnographic and indigenous storytelling methods 100% of the students were able to recognize and apply the feminist theory of intersectionality |
| Analysis Summary | The criteria I used were the students own self-assessment in survey responses. The analysis I completed indicated the need to strengthen the academic language /vocabulary re: research methods they used in their storytelling projects. The application of intersectionality theory to a class and campus wide event/project proved effective for this learning outcome. |
| Next Steps Planned | In the next Spring 2013 semester a traditional assessment tool based on vocabulary will be incorporated in order for students to code switch their everyday class practice with the academic terms: ethnography and indigenous research. |
| Learning Outcomes | Recognition that their storytelling practice is based on ethnographic and indigenous research. |
Changes
| Details | I attempted to include more online activities: Besides the National Institute of Healthy tutorial protection of human subjects I constructed a computer lab activity where students submitted their stories to the graphic designers of the anthology/booklet, one of the courses projects as well as using the online Insight program. |
|---|---|
| Learning Outcomes | More students submitted their work in a timely manner to the graphic designers formatting their student work. |
Tentative Future Plans
| Term | Spring 2014 |
|---|---|
| Activities | Revision of outcomes and assessment methods (measurements) |
| More Details | This course is offered once an academic year so Spring 2014 is the next course offering. The course will include a quiz on vocabulary to demonstrate students' ability to code switch their storytelling knowledge to academic research concepts. |

Additional Highlights
Students successfully demonstrated the feminist theory of interssectionality by organizing a campus and community wide event to stop bullying, hate crimes and stereotypes by apply intersectionaltiy. Over 150 people attended and participated in workshops where presenters shared stories of how they responded to bullying, individually, community wise, and institutionally.The written documentation of their experiences at the conference and their individual lives will be distributed in the campus and larger communities through an anthology/booklet.
