Assessment Description | Assignment was a full term design project. The evaluation matrix in the SLO folder in the ARCH front office houses that matrix for viewing. |
Learning Outcomes | SLO A: Create architectural solutions to set of project requirements SLO E: Understand how architects create sets of functional and expressive spaces. |

Data Sharing Methods | Face-to-face meetings |
Data Summary | SLO A was evaluated on 6 criteria. The summary matrix is in the SLO binder in the dept. front office. All areas were competent and above but Criteria 4,( evidence of circulation development) was the weakest. 50% of the students were competent and below. This needs to get better. SLO E was evaluated on 6 criteria. The summary matrix is in the SLO binder in the dept. front office. All areas were competent and above but Criteria 1 (circulation as part of the expressiveness of the design) was the weakest overall. |
Analysis Summary | SLO A: Over the entire spectrum of criteria, 71% of students were good or excellent, indicating that the students were showing evidence of all six criteria for the SLO above merely competent. SLO E: Over then entire spectrum of criteria for this SLO E, 68% were good or excellent, indicating that students were showing evidence of all six criteria for the SLO above merely competent. HIGHEST SCORES (good and excellent) SLO A: Criteria 2: Site response Criteria 5: Integration of concept, program and site Criteria 6: Response to gravity and structure SLO E: Criteria 5: Intention to relate spaces to concept Criteria 6: Derivation of functional spaces through gestural language LOWEST SCORES: (competent and below competent) SLO A: Criteria 1: gestural language development Criteria 4: Evidence of circulation development SLO E: Criteria 1: Importance of circulation as part of expressiveness CRiteria 2: Relates function to site |
Next Steps Planned | Overall, the class is meeting these two SLO's as evidenced in the 6 criteria developed for each SLO. The weakest area is clearly revolving around circulation development. I recommend focusing more lectures and showing circulation strategies directly as examples to the students. The other area of improvement is in the development of gestural development. While it's still good, it could be beefed up. Spending more time on it is an option but that needs to be developed around the needs of the other SLO's. |
Learning Outcomes | Refer to previous answers. |
Changes
Details | The Fall 2012 SLO evaluation showed the same problem for SLO A. However I feel I addressed it better in Spring 2013 by focusing more on t circulation development in the critiques. Obviously, this was not enough! I recommend whoever is teaching this course in Fall 2013 to focus MORE formally on circulation as a topic. I was relying on a more organic integration which is not getting through! I also recommend a much higher evidence of digital production. I think this is still MY lowest area of accomplishment in the entire list of SLO's. I recommend evaluating the SLO relating to digital skills in Fall 2013. |
