| Data Summary | No new data directly on this course since Fall 2012 (when the course was last offered). In the fall, various data showed good mastery of course SLOs: on public health essay, 86% of students scored 75% or higher on the assignment (disregarding any discount in points for lateness) - of those who turned in a paper at all. (Including those who did not turn in a paper, it's 83% who scored 75% or higher.) On quiz subscales matched to SLOs, the percents scoring 75% or higher were 78%, 84% and 75% (see last fall's report for details). On small group data assignment, 93% of students who attempted the assignment achieved a score of 80% or higher. In 2012, service learning was added to this course, and student response has been positive (also confirmed by agency partners and advisory board members). New data gathered in Spring 2103 was input from the Trauma Certificate Community Advisory Committee, specifically regarding the current job market (more optimism regarding jobs available than we had anticipated) and creating a brainstorm of trauma-response methods currently used in the field. This input will be primarily useful to HLTH 38 and CDEV 100 (other courses in the certificate), but a few of the approaches identified will be incorporated into lesson plans in HLTH 48 as well. |
| Analysis Summary | Analysis was completed and reported in Fall 2012. Overall, students are attaining desired outcomes from the class. Retention continues to be a challenge, but the redesign of assignments completed in 2012 seems to have helped (for example, unifying the Public Health Essay into one midterm assignment instead of 2 separate essays). In Spring 2013, SLO assessment at the course and program level (Trauma Prevention & Recovery Certificate - IDST) was discussed at the Trauma Faculty Meeting and also briefly at the Community Advisory Committee meeting. |
| Next Steps Planned | In Fall 2012, we planned to submit a revised Course Outline to curriculum committee in spring 2013 with a reduced number of SLOs for more streamlined SLO assessment. As the course outline was not out-of-date, the Curriculum Committee declined to review the new outline we wrote. So - we continue to use the same outline and same SLOs as we did in 2012. We had planned to map assignments to the new SLOs for HLTH 48; however, as the curriculum committee declined to review the proposed new course outline (given how much work they had to do already), we will stick with the existing SLOs and assignments in the 2013-2014 year. HLTH 48 will next be offered in Spring 2014. The readings for the course will be updated prior to Spring 2014; most assignments will be the same for Spring 2014 as for Fall 2012, as the results of SLO assessment were positive. |

| More Details | Reading materials and classroom activities will be updated. Major assignments will stay the same but data will be collected as before to see if attainment of SLOs remains high or changes. Feedback from the Trauma Certificate Community Advisory Committee will continue to be incorporated into the course, in particular regarding the Service Learning Component and the sessions on trauma response and resiliency. |
