  • Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps
  • Implementation of planned changes and reassessment
More DetailsI am very excited to try some new teaching methods I learned in a conference I attended at the end of May at Canada College: SETI - Summer Engineering Teaching Institute. I was given a Microsoft Surface Tablet PC and introduced to various software (like CCC Confer and Camtasia). I intend to explore and learn them this summer and try to use in the classroom in the fall. I hope it will improve the proficiencies of my students in their SLOs. I will be concentrating on the SLO#5 which I am aiming to get nearly 90% proficiency for all my students. Or least the objective assessment up to the self-assessment which at this point it 90%.
