Spring 2013 Course SLO Review

GRPH 101B - Advanced InDesign - Stage 5 - Chytrowski

Assessment

Assessment Methods	Student self-assessments (such as reflective journals and surveys) Capstone projects or final summative assignments
Assessment Description	Both the midterm and final projects were assessed, being capstone projects. Each project was assessed for a specific SLO, listed below, according to a rubric.
Learning Outcomes	Create forms using tables, tabs and paragraph rules. Construct complex single- and multi-page documents containing text and images.
Number of Sections	1
Number of Instructors	1
Number of Students	17

Data Analysis

Data Shared With	Faculty and staff within our department Students
Data Sharing Methods	Face-to-face meetings Email Website review and commentary
Data Summary	For the SLO regarding tables (SLO1) , 94% of students were successful. For the SLO regarding creating documents containing text and images (SLO2), 93% of the students were successful.
Analysis Summary	SLO1: 60 points of the midterm were used to evaluated how well students could organize information using tabs or tables. We wanted a score of 85% or higher (51 points) to demonstrate success with this SLO. SLO2: 120 points of the final project were used to evaluate the students ability to create complex documents containing text and image. There were four distinct phases involved in this process, each worth 25-35 points each. Successful achievement of this SLO required a score of 102 or higher (85% of 120).
Next Steps Planned	Both SLO assessment results indicated no changes were needed to the instructional methodology for these SLOs. I would like to rewrite SLO1 to not include a "form" per say, but rather information design, which is a broader term.
Learning Outcomes	Refer to previous answers.

Changes

Details	I assessed two new SLOs, described previously, and began the process of revising the course outline to reflect more accurate SLOs in general.
Learning Outcomes	All.

Tentative Future Plans

Term	Fall 2013
Activities	Revision of outcomes and assessment methods (measurements) Assessment (measurement) of outcomes Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps Implementation of planned changes and reassessment
More Details	In Fall 2013, I plan on assessing one SLO: Create and use a flexible, multi-page publication grid. I plan on rewriting the course outline in the Spring 2014, and revising SLOs as needed to better reflect current practices.
