Spring 2013 Course SLO Review

LGBT 11 - History of Homosexuality in the Cinema - Stage 3 - Maureen Brownsey

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 satisfaction surveys
Assessment Description	Student Anonymous Survey--to rate all five SLO's--rating each SLO separately where 0 (zero) is the least effective and 10 is the most effective. Part II of the survey, asked for feedback on how effective specific teaching methodologies worked. In Part II, 'responses' were either a combination of the rating system, and 'written feedback' or one or the other (written OR rated 0--10). EX: Part II #9. Rate the 'classroom dynamics' did you feel that your ideas, comments were 'heard,' was it a 'safe' place to express a variety of viewpoints? Comments? (after you rate)

Data Summary	The average or 'mean' score for all 11 questions, per the 0 to 10 rating system, scored 9.1 (lowest, first ten surveys) & 9.4 for the last 14 surveys, which is conservatively 9.2 out of 10. The lowest averaged question was #7, "How would you rate the in-class teaching methods, as it helped you understand the goals above? Scored approx.8.7--the highest was, SLO #5, "Evaluate critically, both orally and in writing, the works studied." Score averaged: 9.6.
Analysis Summary	Still need to compare the Final Exam scores with the Survey, to assess actual effectiveness via testing versus student's perceptions. Also: to note the % of students who withdrew from the class after doing poorly on the Mid-Term, etc. to get a fuller 'view.'
Next Steps Planned	At this pt. I plan to incorporate more in-class writing, to help better prepare students for the mostly written, 'critical thinking & film analysis' testing methods. By having students 'respond to film, by writing for 5 minutes, in class.
