PHYS 12 - Introduction to Human Physiology - Stage 5 - Joe Reyes
Assessment
| Assessment Methods |
|
|---|---|
| Assessment Description | Examination and comparison of course quizzes and exams across sections. These quizzes were standardized across sections as to test for particular content. (in progress) Redesigned criteria for evaluation of Lab Report assessment (in progress) Student Survey of SLO's |
| Learning Outcomes | Demonstrate the ability to define, use and explain the basic terminology and use the concepts of physiology. Demonstrate the ability to use the basic laboratory skills and techniques and formulate procedures of elementary physiology. |
| Number of Sections | ~3 |
| Number of Instructors | 3 |
| Number of Students | ~200 |
Data Analysis

|---|---|
| Data Sharing Methods |
|
| Data Summary | 80% of our students were able to answer 8 out of 10 questions per quiz on a consistent basis. Midterm and Final exam showed a 70% of students answering 75% of questions correctly. Student surveyed across each section showed that consistently that they were confident (a score of 4 and above) in proficiency at each of the prescribed SLO's for the course. |
| Analysis Summary | It is clear from test scores and survey information that students were able to utilize the material presented in the course to analyze, manipulate and predict physiological outcomes. |
| Next Steps Planned | Student Surveys will continue to be administered to assess the satisfaction of the students in our courses. Faculty involved with this course are continuing to coordinate and assess the quiz and testing material, to better report how our SLO's are being addressed in our teachings. Furthermore, more work is needed to revamp the expectations and grading of Lab Reports for this course. It was clear from survey information that updating of our Lab Manual is needed. A greater focus on new, engaging, experiments; edits to descriptions and procedures of existing material in the lab report. |
| Learning Outcomes | Demonstrate the ability to define, use and explain the basic terminology and use the concepts of physiology. Demonstrate the ability to use the basic laboratory skills and techniques and formulate procedures of elementary physiology. |

|---|---|
| Number Students: Proficient | 80% of students tested |
| Number Students: Developing | 20% of students tested |
| Number Students: No Evidence | No answer |
| Criteria | A score on quizzes and exams of 75% or higher was scored as Proficient. A score of 65-75% on quizzes and exams was used to determine "Developing" level. Any score below was considered "No Evidence" |
| Extra Details | It was very clear that students were progressing in a very satisfactory manner. Understanding of the material is clearly shown in the work that was evaluated. |
Tentative Future Plans
| Term | Fall 2013 |
|---|---|
| Activities |
|
| More Details | Continue work of coordinating and standardizing quizzes and test to better assess reaching of outcomes across course sections. Rework lab manual experiments and explanation section, by surveying students during semester on manual usefulness. Faculty discussion of this is ongoing. Faculty discussion on redesign of criteria for evaluation of Lab Report assessment. Student Surveys of completion of prescribed SLO's for course |
