Analysis Summary	Fitness Center orientation will continue with the current orientation process with an additional emphasis on new videos and sample workout plans developed to aid students. Although there was a 85% success rate the survey question was not clear or completely in-line with the SLO. Will re-write the question to reflect SLO. Will better emphasize use of posted plans and instructional videos already available on the web and in the FC.
Next Steps Planned	Fitness Center orientation will continue with the current orientation process with an additional emphasis on new videos and sample workout plans developed to aid students.

Additional Highlights

We have completed our second full SLO cycle, and have closed the loop for the second semester in a row. We will continue to assess all of our courses offered and close the loop after each semester. This entire process has not only brought our department closer but has given us some great concrete data that we are using to improve our courses and teaching methodologies. The process is working for our department!

The implementation of Google forms for exit survey data collection –and soon to be implemented this Spring 2014 – skills assessment data collection is and will continue to be a tremendous tool for us. Not only does it make collection easy but also allows a clean and seamless transfer to Excel to run pivot table tabulations to allow for a clean collection, tabulation and presentation of data not only to be publicly posted but most importantly to be utilized by our instructors for stage 5 course loop closure. Best of all, it is free!
