Additional Highlights
Student Learning Outcomes Quiz - Given on May 8, 2013Students were asked to write an essay on each of the SLOs.
Results: 13 students took the SLO quiz. For SLO B: 10 students answered correctly = 76.92% and for SLO C: 12 students answered correctly 92.30%.
Analysis: It helped to review the questions during the Midterm SLOs with the students on an individual basis. I also announced the date of the SLO quiz a week in advance so as to give students time to prepare. In the Fall 2013, I will ask students to write one page essays on each of the SLOs, this will help students be able to articulate their ideas on each of the SLOs in an organized manner.
